Hi Maso, yes we all hate popups. I do not ever recall clicking on one to find out
more about it except to right click it and add it to my hosts file. DEX will hate
this but NPF 2003 + a huge hosts file will stop 99.9% of popups. Embedded ads show
up as "Action Cancelled". Ctrl+click will disable block for the link you click.
