Your popup blocker is less effective; have you noticed?

I don't think I've noticed a ton in Firefox recently, but a few here and there; not much more or less since I started using it, if I remember correctly.

I've noticed an increase, although small, in the number of adds that make it through the pop-up blocker on chrome and Firefox. Its kind of disturbing.

I don't think I've seen a pop-up ad on my own PC since 2006

I have noticed a definite increase and thought my pop-up blocker was out of date. Looks like this could be the case and pop-up blockers need to add some tweaks (if possible) to defeat these new breeds of pop-ups.

One important thing to note - the blog post I wrote about pop-ups was from January 2005.

I hadn't noticed my current theme was not displaying the date of the posts, so I'd better fix that.

It still makes a good point, Mr. Collins. Your post has made its rounds through the grapevine to several sites today, including ours, and I chose to run it because it's still pertinent. DHTML popups, and all sorts of ridiculous new blocker-evading tricks are on the prowl.

Despite FF and ABP, I've gotten a good dozen popups today from random sites in my trawling of the interwibble.

Thank you for stopping by.

I've noticed that very recently I've actually begun to be affected by popups again, so I'd agree that yes they're finding new ways of getting around our popup and adblocking solutions.

I haven't noticed any recently, maybe one or two but nothing that sticks out. Maybe because I primarily browse on Safari (c'mon Google, I want Chrome OS X!)

I have noticed more now as compared to six months or a year ago. I see now that it probably isn't just my imagination.
