[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 997277"] On a Mac, pop-ups are just ads. Nothing more. Safari (and Firefox) try to block them, but of course the determined advertisers/malicious virus writers are always trying to find ways around that. You've already received several recommendations for Firefox, and here's one for Safari (which I happen to like better): [URL="http://safariadblock.sourceforge.net/"]Safari Adblock[/URL] (not to be confused with SafariBlock). It's (obviously) based on Firefox's add-on. I find it works very well. That plus [URL="http://rentzsch.github.com/clicktoflash/"]ClickToFlash[/URL] and your entire surfing experience is REMARKABLY improved. [/QUOTE]
