Pop-up ad zappers for the Mac?

I'm really sick of pop-up ads. I know there are some apps for the PC that take care of them. Are there any for the Mac? I'm interested in one for OS9 and OSX.

You might give WebWasher a try. It is the only one I could find that supports MAC. It says it supports OS9 but gives no information about OSX.

Please understand, I know nothing about this program, I just happened upon it. You might want to take a look at their PDF Fact Sheet.

Here is the link to their HomePage:

Here is the page with the PDF File:

You might also try going to Google and do a search for PopUp Killers for MAC and see what you get.

Although I don't believe that people should block all ads from a website (it hurts revenue), I despise popups. OmniWeb for OS X under Javascript Prefs lets you adjust for opening new windows. I have it set to only when I click a link and only get the popups that I want.
