Well& some of t"e above triks also seem to stop pop up banners from being displayed.
)o$ever& anot"er option t"at ould be propagated $ould be to ask all visitors to install a
5oft$are alled Adds6FF $"i" stops ne$ $indo$s +pop up ads, from being displayed.
But again t"is is not a feasible option. #nfat& some personal fire$alls also filter out ode
