Re: [Camino] defeating pop-up blocker

[Stuart Morgan]

I would be extremely surprised if breaking the script tag has any  
effect on a browser.  By the time the page is rendered, the tag has  
been written and assembled (otherwise the script wouldn't  
load)--besides, I don't think Mozilla's popup blocking is based on some  
kind of pre-processing that strips out 'bad' javascript.  My  
understanding is that it works by simply preventing many actions from  
being triggered by anything other than actual user interaction.  The  
broken apart tag is probably targeted more at proxy-level filtering,  
which actually modifies the HTML.

If, as Andrew said, the popup is triggered by clicking through to a  
sub-page, there's not much that can be done to distinguish between it  
and a desired popup.

Seems to be using document.write to put in the script code for the ad,
but, its breaking the script tag first, so the camino isn't detecting  
it.

document.write('<scr'+'ipt language=javascript
src="http://a.tribalfusion.com/j.ad? 
site=MacOSRumors&adSpace=ROS&size=468x60&type=horiz&noAd=1&requestID='+ 
((new
Date()).getTime() % 2147483648) + Math.random()+'"></scr'+'ipt>');

the a tags also don't have "" around the src attribute.
trixie.

I mentioned a while back that I had started getting pop-up ads that
were not being blocked, but don't recall hearing anyone else
experiencing this. I have now been able to figure out who has
apparently found a way to get around Camino's pop-up blocking code...

It looks to be a php driven website and typically, if one goes to any
of the content pages, pone gets a new window with advertising. I
figure if these guys have figured out how to circumvent Camino, how
long can it be before others do so? I can't imagine that this is just
my system...
