Pop-unders on the DU???
Anyone else getting pop-unders from DU? WTF?

I am using firefox 1.0.1 and using since the first beta I have had not a single popup. I know that pop-unders are a problem recently for everyone, but for me they ONLY happen on DU.

Anyone else noticed this? Why DU?

1. Advertisers have learned how to get around the blocking
I think I heard that Skinner has used advertisers that have popunders for a long time, it's just that we have been blocking them successfully until now. Let's hope that Firefox and Safari figures out how to block them again soon.

3. Yep, and only on DU...
The Sun-Times and Trib are notorious for pop-ups and pop-unders, yet Safari blocks them all. The ONLY one I get is on DU. Perhaps cookie related?
