Ello BCF,

I've noticed over the last few months that ad-block isn't working 100%, especially when using internet "borrowing" websites.

It's getting worse as the ads open a new tab or a window and normally causes slowdown on the main page until I kill them.

Anyone else having this issue, or know of a way to manually block websites/ add a list addblock?
(PC is clean of adware etc)

Cheeeeeers

You could try using a HOSTS file, I find them very good.

Are you talking about the new style of pop ups that can be seen on https://www.quora.com/ ? Normally littered with "enter your email here to be spammed" pages?

Alternatively Chrome can't block all pop ups as can be seen by efukt and pop-up blockers have to be installed.

Examples of websites you're having problems with?
