This fortnight’s most useful tips and add-ons to help you get the
most from Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge and more
results. The extension doesn’t work
with other search engines, though.Stop slide-in pop-ups for
good
Most browsers now feature built-in
protection against annoying pop-ups
that disrupt your browsing experience
and slow down your computer. This
has prompted some websites to
resort to more nefarious ways to grab
your attention, such as slide-in
pop-ups that fly in from the side of
the screen as you scroll down the
page: “Click here!”, “Subscribe to our
newsletter!”, “Sign in!”. Fortunately,
you can banish these annoyances with
Kill It (bit.ly/stop493).
To set it up, visit the add-on’s
information page by clicking its
toolbar button, then selecting Help,
where you’ll find all the information
you need to eliminate slide-in pop-ups
for good. See our feature on page 48
to find out how to beat other online
obstructions.
