I am using Flashblock 1.5.18, which has worked very well for a long time. For a

load an article and Flashblock does not stop them.  Very annoying, and wastes my
bandwidth.

Have you seen this behavior?  And do you have any suggestions?

I have not yet tried to contact Philip Chee to see if he shall be doing any 
more wore
on his Flashblock program.

Thank you. Mark

And a small correction....Fox News is the big offender, not CNN.

Install a popup blocker.  I use uBlock Origin.
Going to the foxnews webpage resulted in uBlock blocking 11 popups.

Fox appears to be mostly Flash.  Some news sites have gone to html5.
The popups may be html5 so make sure your flash blocker also blocks html5.

Turning off JS would solve the problem but that presents its own problems and
I rarely turn that off.
