I hate 'em!! Especially when it's a big green ugly thing advertising some cheap crap PeeCee!



Can't get rid of it?? When I'm browsing round the forums the last thing I want is to have to close off a zillion ad windows.



And yeah I appreciate that Monish has to make money somehow.

    I love OmniWeb. I haven't seen a pop-up ad since I started using it. It's got filtering settings for all sorts of great stuff that annoys me!

    i've never gotten a popup from AI.

    Maybe its because i use omniweb, but i have never set up any filtering prefs.



    popups are evil! please don't resort to using the (that was directed at AI/MacNN)

    The ad broker is being contacted about this, because this is clearly unacceptable.
