Why Your Pop-Up Blocker Doesn't Work Anymore

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hate-them-so-much dept.

An anonymous reader writes "If you've noticed that pop-up ad windows seem to have made an unwelcome return into your life, it's because they're not using the same easily blockable technology as before. The Adimpact system uses DHTML to annoy you, and there's no immediate prospect of a solution."

    The only reason I haven't tried NetFlix is popups for their product. When they stop annoying me I may try their product.

    Popups are why I hesitate to go to weather.com

    Agreed, these people are retarded.

    Welcome to development with inherently dangerous products and materials.

    Watch the rest of us take ten steps back from your explosively laden piles of shit, and go do other things in places where sane sensible people have built things properly.

    The only sites in the world I enable noscript on are the ones I trust very very much. All the rest either work, or they don't. Only one shit site a day doesn't work, and I don't care. It was obviously built by idiots, it couldn't have been any good.

    Good riddance.
