The Pop-up Windows tab allows you to suppress any pop-up windows
that are launched from the web site you are visiting. These
pop-up windows can be either commercial advertisements or
"expected content", such as a streaming video, side-bar
information, or information forms that requires your input.
In either case, the Pop-up Windows tab allows you to block
any pop-up and later manage them.
Don't Block Pop-up Windows. You can set Propel Accelerator
not to block pop-up windows by activating this radio button.
Block Pop-up Windows. To block pop-up windows, activate
this radio button. When activated, any blocked pop-up window
will briefly appear as:
When you have Block Pop-up activated and you want to view
any pop-ups from this web site in the future, uses the right-click
button to display the "Allow pop-up from this site"
option.
The "Allow pop-ups from this site" option will
override the Block Pop-up feature for the current web site.
Another way to temporarily by-pass the Block Pop-up feature
is to hold down the Control key (Ctrl) as you visit a web
site that you know will display pop-up windows. If the content
in the pop-up window is an advertisement, then a light-gray
tint will replace the image.
Play a sound when a pop-up is blocked. Enabling this
check box allows you to hear a sound every time a pop-up window
is blocked. Once you have activated this button, you can choose
between:
- Standard sound. - The Standard sound is the "chord"
(.wav) in Windows.
- Custom sound. - The Custom sound allows you to pick a
sound by clicking on the Pick Sound button. The Pick Sound
windows appears.
Select the sound you want, then click Open. You can then
hear your selected sound by using the Test button.
Recently Blocked Pop-ups. This list window shows all
web sites, domains, and URL addresses of pop-ups that Propel
Accelerator has blocked. You can perform certain operations
on the list of blocked pop-ups, which includes:
- Show This Pop-up - After selecting a URL, clicking
this button will launch a pop-up window to display it.
- Allow Pop-ups from This Site - After selecting
a URL address and clicking this button, Propel Accelerator
will not block pop-up windows from the domain of the selected
URL.
- Clear Above List - This option clears the list
of blocked pop-ups.
- Edit List of Allowed Pop-ups - When you click on
this button, the Allowed Pop-ups window appears.
The Allowed Pop-up window acts as a "whitelist"
of acceptable web sites, domains, and URL addresses that you
allow pop-ups. You can manage this whitelist by adding, replacing,
and/or deleting. For example, this window shows that the web
site of KRON4 (www.kron4.com) is allowed to display pop-ups
of streaming videos for news clips.
