CNET Editors' review
This isn't your father's pop-up blocker. SQusi Tracking Plus watches your browser and halts all Flash-based content, but a rare bug forces some users to reboot their systems.
The toolbar pull-down interface is a snap to use. The few program settings are right on the menu. A couple of settings pop out from simple dialog boxes. We found sQusi most helpful as a Flash blocker. Start it, and you'll never see another Flash ad. You'll also never see Flash-based content you may want to view from sites such as YouTube. However, it just takes a trip to the toolbar menu to temporarily pause or disable sQusi.
We found the Web site white lists and blacklists very effective and easy to use. The utility also cleans your browser cookies and cache. Unfortunately, cleaning is set manually and can't automatically run at browser close. Some Windows XP SP2 users may suffer from a bug that causes sQusi to disappear from the tool tray. The primary fix is to reboot the operating system.
Anyone who uses the Internet and wants to surf without pop-ups is going to like sQusi. It's easy to install and use, and the free registration takes only an e-mail address.
Publisher's Description
From GCNet:
sQusi is both a free Internet Explorer add-on and a Firefox extension in one package. It is designed to take the clutter out of browsing and to prevent sites such as Facebook.com from tagging and tracking you across the Web. sQusi combines a continuously updated global database with a local one that you can use to override global settings to block or unblock URLs of your choosing. Now you can say goodbye to the hosts file editors that choke your machine and to multiple add-ons/extensions.
sQusi combines the functionality of several available extensions (ad blocking, script blocking and cookie/cache cleaning) in a single application that requires zero effort on your part. sQusi will work with both Internet Explorer and Firefox on Windows XP and Vista. Version 2.0.1.7 adds support for Google Chrome and has miscellaneous bug fixes.
What's new in this version: Version 2.0.1.7 adds support for Google Chrome and has miscellaneous bug fixes.

"Great for blocking ads, adding security"
Version: sQusi Tracking Plus 2.0.1.7
Pros
It blocks a lot of ads, and you can make it block even more. Since it can block specific sites, it also can add security to your system by preventing the download of viruses, etc from those site. Sites like MySpace can sometimes link to malware.
Cons
Sometimes it blocks a site or prevents the download of a file. It would be nice to have the option to see what was blocked, specifically, as you are browsing. Sometimes the install or reinstall is difficult because their registration setver is down
Summary
Bottom line is that it's a great program to keep running on your computer!
