[request] popup block for all sites

[seth100]

Hi,

is it possible to add the possibility to set an option to block popups for all sites?
Something like what this addon does: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pop-up-control/?src=cb-dl-updated

Thanks for your great work.

option to block popups for all sites?

It's already there. Try adding this rule no-popups: * true in My Rules tab.

And read more about popup blocking here https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Quick-guide:-popup-user-interface#no-popups

Ok thanks.

I have tried that, but I can see that it really blocks all popups including all sites that have links that open in a new tab.
The extension I have reported above https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pop-up-control/?src=cb-dl-updated does make difference, indeed it does not prevent sites from opening links in a new tab, but block the popups that uBlock can't block with filters.
