I won't become a netflix customer until they stop using pop-under advertising.
- jonursenbach 16y agoAdblock?
- nzmsv 16y agoSpeaking of annoying ads, this is the page that helped me get rid of the Meebo bar on Slate: http://www.chizang.net/alex/blog/2010/08/19/block-meebo-bar/ http://www.chizang.net/alex/blog/2010/08/19/block-meebo-bar/
- there 16y agoare you sure it's them directly and not someone advertising for their affiliate account?
- Goladus 16y agoNo, but that doesn't really matter to me. If netflix doesn't realize it's happening, maybe someone will notice my comment and do something about it.
- staunch 16y agoThey're still culpable. It's their responsibility to police their affiliates. They can't rightly turn a blind eye to the means by which they profit.
- jonknee 16y agoWhat browser are you using that you still see pop-under ads?
- Goladus 16y agoIt happens occasionally. I haven't used the same browser on the same computer every day for the past four years, and providing a matrix showing the pop-under-exploit-blocking capability of each one over that timeframe would be difficult.
- binaryfinery 16y agoDoesn't happen on the Wii, PS3, Xbox, iPad, iPhone and I'm guessing not on the new apple tv either.
- Goladus 16y agoRight, it happens when I visit other sites on a the web with a browser that doesn't block pop-unders. I'll see a big red ad with the word "Netflix" on it.
- breakall 16y agoAre you thinking of Hulu? When does Netflix do pop-unders?
- Goladus 16y agoFor the past several years I've observed netflix pop-unders at various points on www.reelviews.net, and possibly other sites. (see my comment about using a variety of different computers and browsers over that timeframe)
