Re: [CGUYS] workaround for safari blocking popups
I haven't heard about Pith Helmet for a while. The last time I paid it any attention, a Safari update had come out, and the two wouldn't work together very well until Pith Helmet made a series of fixes. Looking at the website, I see that they say that the most recent version is compatible with Safari 3.2, and Safari is up to version 4.0+ now, so it doesn't look like it is very current. I don't know of any popup blocker that always works on any browser. Firefox has one of the best popup blockers I've seen, and things still get by them. Some sites will evade the blockers by using a click on the page to launch the popup, and they can be very clever at getting you to click on the page.

I know there is the pulldown that one can toggle between off and on, but it does not always work. I am wondering if there is something else any of you are using? Or if the above are worthwhile? Pop-ups don't bother me now that I've set my browsers to do "pop-unders." I can't see them, so I don't care. One of my browsers is set to open pop-ups in an adjacent tab. Can't see them, don't care. Problem with blocking all pop-ups is that there are sites you may need that don't work without them. Try the above settings. It's easier than allowing pop-ups one at a time.

[CGUYS] workaround for safari blocking popups
Do any of you know these sites: PithHelmet Privoxy as possibilities for blocking some popups and allowing others in Safari? I know there is the pulldown that one can toggle between off and on, but it does not always work. I am wondering if there is something else any of you are using? Or if the above are worthwhile? /gayley knight * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
