Nor will pop-up blocking I'm afraid.
- asddubs 9mo agothe whole point of the article is that browsers should try to block popups that don't literally open a new window too. Although I doubt it's really feasible without doing it on a one-by-one basis like ad blockers
- laristine 9mo agoOf course, I don't disagree with you. But OP tried to refute the fact in their parent comment that using adblock is generally better than relying on browser's pop-up blocking. However, adblock does no worse than pop-up blocking in the specific case of non-window pop-ups, making it irrelevant in the context. And I agree that these types of ads remain a hard to solve problem today.
