Blocking popups

[peternrdstrm]

I really like your userscripts, and am extremely thankfull for their existance but sadly there is one last type of annoyance not blocked : popups. I just can't get rid of them. Could you make a script for that? I'm using the bromite extended filterset currently.

Thank you :) Do you know any examples for sites where popups aren't blocked?

I personally only noticed the cosmetic filter script not working properly on e.g. https://www.spiegel.de/, but not sure about other popups.

A website I have trouble on would be soap2day.ac (not sure about other s2d mirrors). Clicking anywhere triggers really annoying popups, that aren't blocked, like not even the sites they lead to.

another example is animepahe.com. Try to watch any videos & click on anywhere on the screen, a popup will appear.

Tbh I personally don't use these sites and haven't experienced this on any other sites, so I likely won't create a script for that. Maybe you can find other scripts on the internet.

I'll leave this open though, maybe someone else finds this and looks into it

@AzureB1te, I recommend the Adguard Popup blocker Userscript.

@xarantolus this off-topic, but by chance do you have an userscript for clear urls? It is an extension that removes url parameters and other tracking elements.

[xarantolus]

Sounds interesting. I'm not 100% sure one could do it for all URLs (as scripts are only injected after some part of the request has already loaded, so the tracking parameters have already been sent at that point), but it could be interesting for replacing links before clicking.

I added links to some userscripts in my fork readme.
