Anyone noticed?

I use Firefox and Safari because they block popups. Or at least they're supposed to.

However, even with popups fully blocked on both Safari and Firefox, I'm starting to get popups/popunders again. Admittedly, not to the same extent that I get them if I surf on the work 'puter (and thank goodness the Sidekick web browser seems to be modified Lynx), but still... I'm not supposed to be getting them at all. Fanfiction.net seems to be the biggest culprit on this.

Anybody else seeing this?

Yup. Apparently, there are ways around the popup/popunder blocking, though I imagine it won't be long before those holes are plugged. (The Mozilla/Firefox people seem to be pretty quick to fix major problems, unlike Microsoft.)
