Why does Chrome have no good popup blocking extension. ;_;

Because that's not possible with the current API.
Though it might be possible to hook onCreated and then call a close on tabs if they're in a new window. idk.

Better Popup Blocker applies AdBlock Plus' rules to popups and pop-unders. Only annoying this is that it takes like ~10 seconds for them to close and often closes Chrome's main window for some reason. Even IE had a good populousness.

Yeah chrome is a bit iffy with popup/ad-blocking seeing Google their stance in the ad market.

What I hate about built-in popup blockers is that they always block the wrong popups. They always allow the spam, but not the legitimate ones.
@previous (r04r)
Interesting. Also, I should, but I dunno. Is there anything worth upgrading for?

The legitimate ones open through traditional means, and the spam ones jump through hoops to still be opened.
The blockers block the traditional means. I really don't get what can be so difficult about simply disallowing new windows and showing a window before opening one.

Unfortunately, I've never had much luck using any browser. Internet Explorer to Firefox to Chrome etc.

Most spammy popups open when you click part of a page. Popup blockers never block them when they do that.

In IE9 you can set it to block all popups, and bypass it by clicking the link whilst holding CTRL.

I really hate the ones that open when you pop open when you click play on a video. Such as LiveJasmin popups. Luckily, I'll no longer have problems. I'm happy right now.

Yeah. I still think those should also be blocked, though. Just show a fair warning about it & just open the popup after clicking that warning. Not like IE reload the entire fucking page instead of just showing the popup.

Wouldn't it work to just add "127.0.0.1 livejasmine" to your hosts file?

Meh, it's pretty inconvenient on a laptop.
