I'm using Firefox with Adblock Plus 2.2.4 and Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon 0.7 and Flashblock 1.5.17 and did not get any pop-ups. I have not seen any in years. I'm just saying in case you wondered how you could block them. I understand that this isn't really the point here however as many other visitors may be bothered by intrusive ads.

- leephillips 13y agoI guess Chrome's built-in popup blocker is not as powerful.
- logn 13y agoI have a mostly similar stack, plus I use NoScript and added every news site to the JS blacklist. Tangent: I am a paying customer for many online sites, but haven't yet found a news site I'd like to pay for. If a publication like Reuters or Al Jazeera charged membership fees and could develop an intelligent online community like HN, then I'd probably pay for that.
