Does anyone know if there is a browser for the I-Book that will handle popup blockers? I got an I-Book handed down to me from my daughter with IExplorer 5 on it.

If so Safari will block popups, and so will Firefox, Opera, and many other browsers. If it doesn't have OS X, you really should get it; OS 9 is pretty much dead.

If you are running OSX.1 or above, you have a version of Apple's Safari Browser that has that as an option under the Safari Menu... just select "Block Pop-Up Windows" and you are done.

I think I know what the problem is: you're running on "System 9". There IS an answer:
http://www.mozilla.org/download.html#os9
Mozilla 1.2.1 CAN block Pop-up Ads on System 9 if the built in Pop-up Blocker is enabled - Or look at the WaMCom project for more "Up to Date Code" and a nicer internet experience. I'd suggest you wait a few months for OS X 10.4 "Tiger" to arrive and install it on that iBook. It'll be worth it - you'll be delighted - built in browser "Safari" blocks Pop-Up Ads. (And You'll get iLife to boot!) Enable the Pop-up Blocker by going to Preferences - Then Security - Then Pop-up Ads. iBook is too nice to be playing with that mean ol' I.E. that comes with it.
