However, you can narrow down yourself the popup:

- go to the movie page
- open the devtools (press F12 or ctrl-shift-i ) and then click adblock plus tab (top right)
- see the box type (top left), select "popup" requests
- click on the page to provoke the popup
- see what request appears with the popup type => hover the mouse over the row => on the right you can click "block element"

- go into options, "add my own filters" tab, edit filters, copy the filter, post it here

Hi, newbie here.

Here is a link that i couldn't apply your steps to (which was very helpful for some other sites, thank you):

Code: Select all

How can i stop the page from opening a new tab, triggered by the first click?

Thanks

it's tabunder, ABP didn't implemented measures against such crap (chrome will provide a fix on their side with version 64 - 65).
So, if you use such sites it's better to install uBo (ublock origin) which is equipped with advanced weapons to fight all these redirects / popups / popunders / tabunders.

(do not use simultaneously more adblockers)
