Company Description:

The folks behind PopupPD are probably a lot like you. We don't like annoying popup windows and we like to surf the web as quickly as possible. So we set out to incorporate popup blocking technology with some extra bells and whistles that make using the internet faster and more fun. What we ended up with was popup free surfing, an easier/faster way to search Google, Amazon, eBay and Overstock, quick shopping links to trusted stores.
