As browsers upgrade it needs constant checking and revising. Big tube sites seem to always have popunders that work, I guess they can pay people to check all the time and rewrite the scripts as necessary.
I don't want to be too much of a conspiracy theorist but I also wonder if it might have to do with the fact that popups are likely more productive than popunders for the advertiser and the ad network? I mean if you can get away with paying the same rate to the publisher for popups as you would popunders why would you be in any hurry to fix it?

I hope it gets fixed. It's nice to see Juicy at least seems to care about the issue.
