Safari not blocking 'pop unders'

I have the pop-up blocker on in Safari, but when I go to shut down Safari I get a message that there are (at least) two windows open and do I really want to quit. More often than not, the extra windows that are open are a NetFlix pop under, or one for screensavers. What gives-shouldn't the pop up blocker take care of this?

  • Safari not blocking pop-up windows

    Even though I have block pop-up windows checked in in the Safari menu, I am finding that this blocking feature is not reliable. One of the pop-up windows I see frequently is for Netflix. This is not the only one.
    Does anyone know of a method to really inhibit the pop-up windows in addition to what I am doing?
    I'm running the latest OS (10.5.4)
    Thanks for any help.

    It's not possible to block all popups, since some are activated by Flash instead of JavaScript, so unless you remove the Flash plugin or have some way of disabling it, you will always see an occasional popup window, depending on which kinds of sites your visit.
    that's just the nature of the beast.

  • Safaris is not blocking pop-up windows

    I just installed Lion and my browser is suddenly doing a very poor job of blocking pop-up advertisements.  Any idea what happened?  Literally, my browser just let through 4 pop-ups in one 20 minute session. 

    Yes, I do understand that pop-ups can get through (I've been using computers for some time...my first was built by my grandfather using a tape deck, an electric typewriter and a TV in 1976).  I am not concerned with the odd Pop-up.  I am concerned with the inordinate number of them getting through since I upgraded to Lion.  There is a noticeable increase... not just one or two per day (normal) but 5 or 6 a session (abnormal)...and yes, the pop-up blocker is on... and no, I won't ask you where there "any" key is.

  • Isn't it time Firefox blocked Pop Unders as they hi-jack the actual browser

    Pop Unders, NOT Pop Ups, hi-jack the Firefox browser when they load up. When I close the window with the pop Under, the whole Firefox browser closes. I would have thought that Firefox would be annoyed at this as the Pop Under advert has taken over control of the browser.

    What is the web address? What is on the pop?
    It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
    Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
    and what it does. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
    '''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
    '''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder
    '''Linux:'''
    * [http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/see_all_your_installed_applications_ubuntu_unity Ubuntu Unity]''' {web link}
    * Xfce: Applications Menu category sections
    * options depends on the package manager and the desktop environment
    Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
    know what it is, use a web search.

  • Safari Not Blocking Cookies

    Hey, so I found this issue a few days ago where I noticed that Safari is not blocking cookies. General > Safari > Block Cookies > Always. And despite having it on "Always", cookies still manage to pass through as if I hadn't changed the option.  I got this issue on iOS 7 and the 7.0.2 update didn't fix it. Anyone else have this issue too or a fix?

    I am having the same issue when developing a website, for some reason when set to block always, cookies are still set.

  • Windows 7, Firefox browser not blocking pop ups

    I bought a new computer with Windows 7. I downloaded Firefox, which I had on my previous computer with no problems. Even though I have it set to block pop ups, I still get pop ups several times a day.

  • How do I stop pop-ups in Safari beyond "block pop-up windows" since that does not work

    Do I type more details here? Do I take pictures? Change my font? Why????
    WHY can't I simply ask a question and get other users to comment or answer the question? You have made everything so much more complicated.
    When I go into the Apple store and present these issues, I get silly grins and tee-hees followed by "yeah, this is the way they do it now."
    At one point I am asked if I "LIKE" something. Who cares? Just fix the darn computer! What are tags and why?
    Apple is getting more like Microsoft everyday.

    Pop-Ups windows are effectively being blocked in Safari, but some web-sites have updated their sites to open a window when you click on content on their site.  This is not a Safari issues it is a web-site issue.  I am not sure on how to stop these without stopping other features on the browser. You can get more information about this by clicking here.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-up_ad

  • Why is the ad blocker not blocking pop up ads

    Every time i open up safari i keep getting this mac keeper pop up add and other pop up ads my ad blocker is enabled but it doesn't block all the ads.
    Please help!

    You may have installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • Safari not blocking popups

    I have all my preferences set to block popups but I'm getting flooded with them. It seams like evertime I go to a new page I get redirected to something I would never go to such as "Look up you credit report" or "rent a baby elephant". It's all a bunch of bull. I like Mac and Safari because I do not have to deal with this but after installing OS X Mavericks 10.9 and Safari 7.0 that's all I'm getting.

    With all cookies blocked, do not track, etc. enabled.  I delete all bad cookies (e.g., Google, ad****), do nothing, and in minutes tens or hundreds are re-installed.  Google requires only that I delete cookis to put them back.  Apple, how do I set up blacklists for cookies?

  • Stop Pop-Under windows (ads) please

    Is there any way to stop Pop-Under windows (ads) in Safari 5?
    Safari itself seems to stop pop-up windows fine, but some pop-up then go behind the main window, yuck.
    I saw a quote from GlimmerBlocker that is does *not* stop pop-under windows.
    thanks

    "Because GlimmerBlocker doesn't hack Safari, there is a few things it isn't able to do: adding a block by right-clicking an image, stopping pop-unders, and filtering cookies from 3rd party sites. But you win a lot in stability, and GlimmerBlocker provides much easier methods for adding your own modifications to pages by adding css rules, pieces of Javascript or by transforming the html before Safari receives it. So I'll hope you're happy with the tradeoff."
    ... but I hear you and will try it, thanks.

  • Pop-Ups and Pop-Unders

    Why am I still getting pop-ups when I've checked "Block Pop-Up Windows". I'm tired of time wasting ads!
    While I'm at it, is there any way I can block pop-under ads? I leave sites and see 1, 2, 3, 4 ads all piled up under where my Safari window was.
    Message was edited by: Louise Cote

    I add some "block sites" filters in my router; cruise the web with java and javascript off most of the time, and same for plug-ins.
    Salon was giving me some pop-unders until I added a rule and marked it as "unsafe."
    I think Safari has played loose with what it blocks or allows, or how adservers get around that. And adservers and sites relying on SQL can be infected "SQL-Injection" is still popular.
    Delete your history cache and cookies when you exit or login... don't leave any "crumbs" of who or where you travel.
    No java/javascript disables most. And doesn't affect most of what I need to do.
    Maybe use 3 browsers depending on what you do. Most browser now but not Safari, allow launching in Private Browsing Mode.

  • Can't DownloadFirefox for Mac. download disappears from download window in safari. pop up windows are not blocked.

    I have watched firefox download. Once it is complete it disappears from the download window in Safari.
    My pop up blocker is shut off.
    I can download when I am in Administrator mode but not under individual username account.

    You should be able to check in Safari to find where downloads are going, in Preferences > General. You can also change the download directory for Safari. If you cannot get Safari to work on that computer, maybe download Firefox on some other computer and transfer the file on a flash stick or CD.

  • My pop-up blocker is not working on ANY of the pop-up ads the come up (only in Safari, not Chrome of Firefox).

    I have my settings on block pop-up ads and, stil, the blocker is not working on ANY ads. It used to work just fine. Has anyone else had this specific problem, and how can I fix this issue? Please and thank you!
