There's a new kind of popup that's been eluding all browsers (Chrome, Fx, Safari, IE, etc), i don't know the technical details, but you can watch it visiting ThePirateBay for instance with a couple of clicks at most: it's there.
How do they do it? I don't know, but no actual browser can block it. I'd guess they tie the click as a real user action to trigger the popup or something similar...
- emp_ 15y agoBecause it is tied to your clicks, most popup injections now happen when you focus on a search-like field or click something, this is not an automated popup that the browser can block, the browser does believe you wanted to open that extra window.
