Safari Pop ups back in 10.3.9

Posted:
in macOS edited January 2014
Just got a pop up today after going to the DrudgeReport. I hope Safari under 10.4 is not also compromised.



Basturds.

    If that was the only site that does pop ups, then I would agree. MDN will probably be next with pop ups. And I like that site.

    FYI, there are many types of "pop-ups", and Safari does not block them all. No browser does. The ad companies figure out a new scheme to combat things...etc



    Cat-and-mouse arms race...

    The best way to stop pop-ups is to stop visiting the sites that use them. Unfortunately, AppleInsider is a pioneer in the use of block-skirting pop-ups.

    The sad thing is that you are right. I am all for the ads but less obtrusive ads would be nicer and less annoying

    best thing to do is block adclick.* and doubleclick.* at the router, secondly I recomend Firefox with adblock and the latest version of this filter .

    If you _must_ stick with Safari, get PithHelmet
