Why don't Pop Up blockers work anymore? - GoFuckYourself.com

AlphaSky · 04-25-2010, 01:36 AM

The can send a man to the moon, but they can't stop these fucking pop ups from appearing all the time!!

Instant messengers, they call 'em now, those fucking annoying sliding ads at the bottom right....

AND if I see "Live Jasmine" pop up in my screen again I'm gonna FREAK THE FUCK OUT!!! LOL

Really, I thought pop up blockers were supposed to end all the misery of surfin the net....

aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Those Live Jasmin popunders you see everywhere only pop when you click on something, so they're not a 'traditional' popup that opens without user intervention.

It's more of a 'click one link, open two links at once' dirty trick.

I don't think there's any popup blocker that can stop that.

We WANT pop ups to work.

My god, you get dumber every day.

Exactly - NoScript and Adblock make for a nice browing experience. I forget there are actually ads on the web. What I cannot believe is that there are people who actually let javascript run on every site they visit - I'd be scared to death. And when you use NoScript, it's funny how good you get at figuring out which domains to enable in order to get just what you want to work. But I can see how a regular person might be intimidated by that huge list of domains that are being blocked.

Really? How many things have you purchased due to an intrusive pop up ad?

I have never purchased anything from a pop, but I have sold quite a few joins from our pops.

Well I assume you also surf the net for fun not just work. So as a surfer do you like this shit? Does it lead to you using that product? Oh sure it gets my attention. The kind of attention that makes me avoid using that product. I'm 100% sure that's the exact OPPOSITE of what these assholes intended. I wouldn't use Live Jasmine if they paid me, let alone promote them. If you don't have any respect for my wishes then fuck you.
