new popups from dabs?

July 30, 2004 7:57 PM | | Comments (3)

Went to visit Dabs.com this evening in firefox, with adblock and popublocker active, yet it still managed to popup a window for highstreetshopper with no other interaction by me. I also found a similar problem when I tried to go to veggietales.net (which is a defunct domain). The veggietales one I can sort of understand as this redirects to a .jsp file called popupwrapper and sure enough 30 seconds later a popup appears. Not sure (or care) how dabs have done it - its just annoying.

Dabs probably doesn't happen depending on a cookie as there is a link to www.thehighstreetweb.com/?src=317&n=1&t=266788&v=21065098&vr=12263671&pvid=6689269&vt=01%2f08%2f2004+17%3a11%3a46&om=1&opt=1&style=317&cn=dabs.com&menu=optout at the top right of the screen with a "Don't want to see the highstreet web again?" next to the "Thankyou for visiting dabs.com"
