   You mean a pop up blocker?   
      
   Yes, Netsape 8, being simply Firefox with some AOL system enhancements,   
   has a pop up blocker.   
      
   You can get an adblocker extension for Firefox, it may or may not work   
   with Netscape 8 tho.   
      
      
   Why go to Netscape 8 at all? Its an intended replacement/alternative to   
   AOL's currrent IE based browser. If you are not using AOL's IE based   
   browser now, there is really no reason to go to Netscape 8.   
   With AOL's track record on updates, there is also some concern over how   
   long this 'new' program will remain supportted by AOL. Whether or not   
   updates will be forthcoming or not   
      
      
   Netsape 8 is simply Firefox, and then some added AOL enhancements to   
   emulate its current IE based browser when used on the AOL system.   
   Instead of changing their system to web-standards, they 'enhanced' the   
   program to perform just like IE does instead. While on their system   
   (AOL) they can be sure there are no 'security' exploits to worry about,   
   the 'enhancements' neccessary to Firefox to emulate IE create certain   
   vulnerablities if used outside the AOL system.
