IE6 with SP2 installed:
Normal popup blocking = Passed
Full-screen popup blocking = Passed
Channel-opener popup blocking = Passed
Modeless dialog blocking = Passed
Browser window popup blocking = Passed
User-launched HREF-method popup allowing = Passed
User-launched JavaScript-method popup allowing = Passed

User-launched Delayed-method popup allowing = Passed

You scored 100 , a rating of Outstanding!
I had to disable the Google toolbar. It caused the last test to fail because it blocked a certain type of legal window. When I told Google to allow the popups from this site, IE6 got a perfect score. :eek:

Now if MS could only close the huge windows they have open for spyware, they might have a pretty good browser on there hands!

OK this is what I get with SlimBrowser. However I do not agree with the results, since none of the popups was displayed on my screen. They all where killed by SlimBrowser Popup blocker accompanied by the regular beep. So I dont know why it records as failed.

Normal popup blocking = Failed
Full-screen popup blocking = Failed
Channel-opener popup blocking = Failed
Modeless dialog blocking = Failed
Browser window popup blocking = Failed
User-launched HREF-method popup allowing = Passed
User-launched JavaScript-method popup allowing = Passed
User-launched OnClick-method popup allowing = Passed
User-launched Delayed-method popup allowing = Passed
All the best from the west!

Hmm, using IE 6 with google toolbar, although the toolbar closed the last window, it popped up for a split second before google closed it. So it failed that test. When I did the advanced test, it passed it with a score of 100.

Normal popup blocking = Passed
Full-screen popup blocking = Passed
Channel-opener popup blocking = Passed
Modeless dialog blocking = Passed
Browser window popup blocking = Passed
User-launched HREF-method popup allowing = Passed
User-launched JavaScript-method popup allowing = Passed
User-launched OnClick-method popup allowing = Passed
User-launched Delayed-method popup allowing = Failed

SInce I knew all the correct answers I cheated on the second try! :D

I think it may have to do with how long it takes to click the ok button? First time I was slow, busy with something else, second time I clicked it right away and passed. :D
