Looks like an issue with chrome from I see, I can't re-produce the issue in Firefox

I'm using iron browser + ABP (iron is a chrome one). It has a builtin adblock (adblock.ini ... ). I dont have problems with demonoid.

the article is way out of date (its about iron 4)

- nothing about builtin adblock
- nothing about iron is faster than chrome.

strange.... i have tried again and got no popups - it only happened when clicking on a download or viewing a torrent, not all the time either but always once per session - anyway tried it and didnt happen - i disabled ABP and restarted browser and still again no popups (these are normally new windows with poker adverts) - anyway, i go to this IRON Browser website to see how its 'faster' than chrome and guess what happens...

...there is a poker popup on their website lol....

I dont even play poker...

this was with ABP off

another wierd issue with chrome is video trailers on videos on Msn Video Player website....but not in firefox... be interesting to see if get them in Iron, i think google are forcing adverts and video adverts onto people on certain sites (and maybe countrys...my dads chrome (in scotland) does not get these trailers) - just like that do with adverts on YouTube videos

@snadge

for iron: you can go on fanboy's site to get adblock.ini for iron (on a fresh install or reinstall adblock.ini will be empty)

[snadge]

ive installed ABP on it - i think Iam going to use an alternative too chrome - i dont like the way they sneak updater software on that they make run every hour and stay running through task scheduler and the fact i get video trailers on msn video players website on chrome...

where do you put the ini file?
can you disable on some sites?
if not, can i just use ABP?

[mapx]

- the adblock.ini is in the program folder; its created during iron's 'install
- download the adblock.ini from fanboy's site
- when you install another version of iron SAVE your adblock.ini, because iron install put its default empty adblock.ini; after install you must reput your own/old adblock.ini
- if you have problems with some site you can edit adblock.ini, to remove/add the raw you want
- I use both of them: adblock.ini can help you to block some ads (like those ABP cant manage due to chrome bugs)
- ABP is dynamic, adblock.ini isnt (when you modify adblock.ini, you must restart iron)
- iron doesnt install the "famous" updater; you can visit srware site / forum to see if there is some new version (the new version is some days after the chrome's one)

guess wot... i used demonoid for first time today and as soon as i clicked on a torrent to view description I got a popup...new window as usual - its immediatley put too the back though like all popups??

isnt there a simple trigger for sites? like demonoid.com = dont allow new windows?
it SHOULD be that easy...

If you're using Nightly, try about:permission; otherwise try ExExceptions to add the "no popups" entry for Demonoid: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefo ... xceptions/

Apparently there isn't a good clean way for an extension to block popups, although you could try the Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon, which was not made and is not supported by the ABP team: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... -up-addon/


EDIT: Sorry, that advice was for the Firefox version; in Chrome it's worse, because it actually has no equivalent of the "permissions.sqlite" file used in Firefox, but you could give Better Popup Blocker a try: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... npgcbeggic

Is the about:permission setting different from the current Firefox option "Block pop-up windows"?
