This includes any pop-ups, YouTube ads, and ads on social media. A whitelist can also be added for adblocking; adblocking is switched off on the websites. In our tests, the ad blocking worked, except for preventing web videos on YouTube.  Cookie blocking:Currently, constant cookie consent requests interfere with web surfing. Poper Blocker removes cookie banners without any problems in our test.  Social Media Content Filter: The social media filter is a very intuitive and easy-to-use tool for those who don't want to read about certain topics on social media.

| Conclusion A summary of our findings and final thoughts for each extension. | Poper Blocker is a good tool for blocking various types of online distractions. With its extensive range of functions in the Pro version and its intuitive user interface, it is a powerful tool. The social media content filter was particularly impressive. This is currently a unique selling point of the tool. In terms of performance, there are currently issues with certain types of pop-ups and YouTube's ad videos. The Basic version is also very limited and does not include normal ad blocking on all websites.
