I am sick of Orbitz pop-ups!
 
It seems like all I do any more is kill Orbitz....I would never buy a ticket from them.

How do you get rid of Orbitz?

afang Jan 14, 2002 8:51 pm

With the current introduced fees...i doubt that anyone would buy a tkt from them.

other than the fact that they do generally have the best rates, orbitz is annoying

If Orbitz can save me money, then I don't care about a pop up when you use it (and they are certainly not the only one using pop under ads), nor do I care about a $5 fee that is always waived for me.

There are tons of utility software out there to eliminate pop ups and pop unders, and as long as the savings is there who cares what you have to go through to get it?

I hate the Orbitz pop-ups.
I want to read the New York Times on line without Orbitz. Unfortunately its the NY Times that invites Orbitz.

I will not buy there anything, becuase the discounted fares are usually not upgradeable. And you can't find it out until after you bought the ticket...

You may try Cookie Cop 2 at www.pcmag.com.
It allows you to either eliminate pop-up ad or be prompted when a pop-up is coming. (There is sometimes a need to let a pop-up thorugh.) It also allows you to control what cookies are on your hard drive and for how long as well.

Does anyone get those obnoxious BofA ads and British Airway ads?

What an excellent site! I didn't want to try to add any of the shareware pop-up killers because I've had bad luck with a few shareware programs that ended up screwing up my system. This site solves that problem.

Thanks, QuietLion! Now if only there were a similarly easy way to turn off spam.
