    Google toolbar blocks all but 2.

        Netscape's popup blocker did a good job, only missed two that I normally don't see.

            Firefox only allowed the Mouseover, the drop down, and the sticky.

            All of these can be turned off with some prefs settings, I believe.

                  Windows XP SP2 blocked most of them also.

                    Floating pop up, drop down, floating banner, sticky, and the three advanced ones, got through with IE6 and WinXP SP2.

                        Mozilla 1.6, no Java, all javascript abilities except "change images" turned off. Blocked all but mouseover popup, dropdown, and top-right "sticky" popup.

                              IE caught all the true Popup's (where it launched an additional window). it did not, however, get the ones that exploit scripting to display content inside the existing window (ie, "Floating Popup", "Floating Banner", Sticky Popup", "Drop down" and the samples listed under "High-tech popup and floating media").

                              edit: noticed J1NG already posted this. also, if you set the security level to high none of them work.
