The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    If you try watching Top Gear from Watch Top Gear Online - Free TV Shows & Videos and click on a Megavideo link, the 1st time you watch a video and you press the play button a popup gets through on Chrome but not Firefox. Is there an add-on for Chrome that disables this popup?

    The Chrome version of AdBlock isn't as good as the Firefox version I find. What's comical about the Chrome version is the author claimed he quit his full time job to maintain it, recommends 30$ donations, however the Chrome AdBlock has been letting popups through for months :p

    He must of made a killing in revenue from the donations to quit his job.

    I prefer Chrome for browsing, but Firefox (along with NoScript/AdBlock) to stream missed TV shows so I don't get bothered by popup crap ;)
