Since I'm using firefox, it alerts me if a site tries to open a popup and let's you either make ff stop alerting you, temprarily allow the popups, or add an exception. I guess other browsers don't have the alert so you know a popup has been blocked.

In most websites, pop us are not veryh healthy so Chrome automatically disables them ;D

that happens in most other browsers too.  Thing is I don't like, when you want a pop-up, it's disabled.  then when you reenable it, you can't get THAT one to reappear.  but then you get an ad popup instead :P

Yeah that's annoying when you find a new website. Some sites opens a pop-up when you download a file. The pop-up contains the download link.

Other Websites launch advertisment pop-ups after you start the download :(

oh, those are pop-unders, I think. Sadly, they are not blocked by pop-up blockers. :/

Pop-Unders are also known in video hosting websites, mainly pornography websites and in file hosts too.

Yeah they're common on such sites, torrent sites and download ones. I guess it's a way to circumvent pop-up blockers.

I guess they will find some way to circumvent anything. I just don't like the ones that create like 10 windows, and crash my browser, because no matter how many times i visit a site, i'm always the 10,000th visitor.

Yeah, we win prizes everytime we visit some sites, it seems.  ::)

I remember a few years ago I quitted visiting Newgrounds because school computers were stuck with IE6 before it added a pop up blocker and NG had like 4-5 pop-ups. I also remember a ROM site that had like 50 pop ups. It got so slow. X.x

The worst ones are when an ad claims your computer is infected and you must download their anti virus to do a scan. If you're computer-illiterate you may end up clicking those and what you install is in fact the virus.

By the way, always be careful if you get PMs from new members with very few posts on the forums. Try to double-check files that they contain if they have any. In the past I believe a member tried to link to viruses once, or maybe it was a bot.
