A pop-under is a pop-up ad window, only it ends up underneath your Sarfari window instead of on top of it. Glimmer-Blocker doesn't seem to be working to stop them anymore. It's really bad when I go to watch tv or videos online. I hate them, especially when they are hawking dating sites or what look like p o r n sites. Whoever wrote the scripts for these ads is a genius if they can get around all the ad blocking aps.
I went back and reread another, older post about Pop-Under Windows ads and Glimmer Blocker today. I read that JavaScript is the reason those ads manage to bypass Glimmer Blocker's resources to stop them and other Block Pop-up Windows. Many sites need JavaScript to be turned ON to work, so I suppose we're stuck with them. 😟
schoodle, have you made sure your Glimmer Blocker is up to date? I have very few pop-unders and no pop-overs. I mean maybe 2 in the last 6 months . . .
Yes I have. I checked for an update today as a matter of fact, and I have it set to automatically check for updates in anycase.
