Firefox
<div class="IPBDescription">Mouse Gestures own me</div> So I'm a new Firefox convert, and let me say the mouse gestures extension is by far the most useful feature I have ever used for a web browser. Not to mention the other great extensions like Gmail notifier. So I strongly suggest that everyone get Firefox and get the mouse gestures extension. [/praise]

Everyone still needs to get Firefox though.
Oh and I've used adblock, but it screwed up and blocks way too much, I hate it, I tried to uninstall it but it still blocks everything
Thankfully I have IEviewer, so I can just view a page in IE with a right click

Adblock blocks nothing without you blocking it explicitly. And you unblock it in the options. It owns, so much better than the "Block all images from 'x'" option that comes with firefox, which DOES block way too much.
Edit: Damn "I'm Lost" beat me to it.
PS: Adblock > all
Mouse gestures are very simple. Holding right click while moving the mouse to the right will skip a page forward. Right click and back will go back a page. Right click and up opens a link in a tab. Right click and down on a link will open it in a new window. Right click and down then right will close the tab or window if there's only one tab open.
Theres also more and it's fully customizable to what you would like.

Are you sure you weren't using the "Block images from..." option that comes with firefox? Adblock only blocks the specific image you tell it to o.O

Click the button marked as "Allowed Sites" besides the Block Popup Windows option. Type in address of website you want to allow popups to appear and hey presto, you've disabled popup blocking for that specific site! Other sites will continue to have popup windows blocked. Although if a site has popups, a little X icon should appear on the lower left corner of your status bar, indicating that it has popups. If you click on it, you can easily unblock the website.
And the world gets lazier again ;D
Seriously, Opera has had Mouse Gestures built in for many-a-version and firefox is only just catching up now with a mere extension! I mock your superior yet backwards browser!

Except that the problem doesn't come with popups (I just went to nationmaster.com in IE, and the site doesn't have any popups). I really don't know what the problem is, unless the images were somehow blocked by the Adblock extension without you knowing, which would be strange since you have to actively block things for that extension to do anything.
And having mouse gestures built in means a bigger program for features that I will never use. That's why extensions are nice. There are hundreds of extensions, and they could all be built in, but nobody wants all of them, and it would make the program bigger than it needs to be. Then again, mouse gestures are pretty popular, but most things should be left as extensions.

It's not "just now" catching up. Mouse gesture extensions have been around in various forms for as long as the browser has.
