Even though they aren’t advertising some of us find it annoying to have something popup while we’re reading a web page.

The Snap FAQ includes a link and instructions for disabling them. Deactivation requires you to reload the page or clear your cache to take effect. In addition, a cookie is needed for the deactivation so cookies must be enabled.

Some websites may have the ability to opt-in so you can turn Snap Shots off or on for the site. I’ve also seen the option to disable right on some of the Snap popup windows.

The Snap Shots do seem to serve a potentially useful purpose. My own view is they pop up at the worst time and are more annoyance than benefit. Do you find them useful?
