Evil popups are back
Grrr. I thought we’d seen the last of these, but I had noticed the odd popup lately, in both Firefox and Safari. It seems that those dirty advertisers have found ways to get around the popup-blockers present in most modern browsers by default (and IE with XPSP2 or a third-party add-on).
Veerle Pieters has a great quote from a web advertiser on her blog:
By using a popup blocker, you are essentially stealing their work. You’re nothing more than a common thief.
Nice to know that particular advertiser cares so much for their users.
