    A little melodramatic.



    I can see how pop-unders are annoying, but you could have contacted Kasper or started a thread to voice your displeasure (and to let others voice their feelings as well). Instead we have an abrupt, ego-stroking exit which no one seems too beat-up about. Oh well. Sorry to see you go.

    I use firefox with script blocker, I guess it also has a popup blocker. Didnt even know there were any popups.

    It's called Firefox with Adblock. Peep it. Been using it for years.



    You'd be amazed how quiet the web is when surfing that way.

    Are these blockers different than just checking Firefox's Tools>>Options>>Content>>Block Popup Windows? Because I've had that checked from day one and I still get pop-up (pop-behind) windows. I am on a Windows machine here at work, if that makes a difference.

    Not only have I never gotten a pop-up with Adblock, I almost never get any other annoying flashy, noisy, or just plain annoying ones. If you really want to crack down on annoyances, install the element hiding helper.

    I can tolerate pop-up ads, but when you took over my speakers, nearly giving me a heart attack in the process, you clearly crossed the line!



    You just killed the goose that laid the golden egg. You're never getting any of my clicks again.



    Good riddance!



    Unless your 80 years old, i question your use of the golden egg saying. I thought that saying had been extinct for some time now. Just check the ad blocker option in safari.

    I have not had any pop problems (under over or sideways) for several months now with latest safari pop up blocker thing on.
