PopUnder industry are in panic for the latest Chrome 65 that will come out on January
 

Finally, I can browse tube site with ease. No more popunders, tabunders, popups, all bullshit that auto pops Yey!

good news for surfers, not for webmasters tho...

google being google and trying to kill any advertising that does not go over google...I hate popups tho...

I was just on a local news site and they popped something up. This and the auto play videos are annoying. I run three monitors and I always have multiple pages open; I hate auto play videos.

Porn will find a way.

:2 cents:

"Google has teamed up with the Coalition for Better Ads" You do realize that Google is the one leading the coalition right? They didn't teamed up. Google is using the coalition to enforce their own agenda.

Poopups!

I did not realize this but thanks good info to know. :thumbsup

Those popunders and autoredirects are annoying.

Good riddance.

^^^ This

This is actually good news for affiliates.
Sponsor pop-unders' effectiveness will be reduced 40% (or whatever Chrome's market share is)

Want to stop popups/unders? Just use FF then right click when you first go to a site with the popup and then it won't pop.. :upsidedow

But, if they get blocked, you'll see more lightboxes and interstitials.....

Big deal. Most people use FF (and IE).
When FF does this THEN watch out.


Stop the circle jerk I wanna get off!
Oh wait...

For desktop Chrome is ~60%, IE ~10%, Firefox ~12%.

This guy's hobby is to reverse engineering popunder techniques:

Very interesting.

That's the spirit!

Lmao ok then...

Yep and on mobile chrome is dominating, it like there are no other browsers yet on mobile there is much bigger choice then for desktop.

There's a lot of mid-level tubes whose business model seems to revolve around showing popunders to massive amounts of purchased traffic--see: txxx, nuvid, gotporn. These sites might have to find a new strategy.

Sites with lots of repeat visitors and good pages per session/time on site will be just fine. Perhaps the demand (and thus cpm) for banners and skimmed traffic will even go up, now that the supply of popunders will be greatly reduced.

Good for those who never used that shit. More honest ones.

It is with great joy and true happiness that I bring as many popunders as possible to other people! As for myself I avoid them like the plauge and have three different plugins running in Firefox to save me from ever having to see another popup/under.

Good news at last! :stoned

No popups = more Trojan installs :2 cents:

Good riddance popups.

And advertisers, this is your fault. I've never once seen a pop-up that was relevant to the content I was searching for or even remotely interested in, and never once clicked anything I ever saw in any popup.

This may have legal ramifications for Google for reason of their dominance with Chrome Mobile.

Even if a lawsuit would not be successful there are political policy plays perhaps. Or, perhaps consumers will like this (probably) and advertisers using intrusive ads will have to adapt in other ways -- only time will tell.

It will be interesting to see the outcome of this

Almost all tubes uses popunders, regardless are they small, mid or big. In fact,if you would ask me to show you tube without popunder, i couldn't give you answer, except maybe xxxvideos which does not fire popup on mobile users. Banner revenue is a joke compared to popunder revenue.

Have to agree with this.

Its a sad state of affairs what the web is becoming. Some of the pop ups remind me of the old dialer installs. Most of the pop ups I see now (at least on the tubes) would scare many users away with fake browser updates, warning messages and 'your machine is infected' messages.

Zero fucks given. Seen to many assholes using redirects and/or locking the screen fake virus bullshit.

Like it or not this form of advertising is a steady source of income for adult webmasters... It's annoying as fuck, but efficient in some niches, otherwise advertisers wouldn't spend hundreds of millions every year ...

my thought too...

The customer is king.

I don't get how they'll be able to prevent target=_blank onClick="window.location" without disrupting legitimate user experience.

Good for them that shit get's annoying!

There will always be an alternative remedy for that.

Remember you internet history!

The pop up/under war continues in 2017 ....

Zero fucks given, I've never used that, it is ugly and irritating.

First of all, the title is misleading since Google wanted to kill only popunders opened from iframes. Oh, and this is a 6 months old information by now.

So, this will affect only sites that have annoying ads, based on common sense.

If you are still afraid you might get hit, you may check out this tool.

Google published a new tool for Webmasters on the official Search Console website that provides you with information on the site's ad experience status.

If you own a legit site, there's no reason to worry.

Won't effect big free tubes. Too much money sent back to big G.
