What popup appears on your computer the most? |
|
For me, it's always something to do with ringtones. I remember one day I was on the computer and I got five of the same popups. Then I got four more popups of the same popup. All for ringtones.
I HATE POPUPS.

Popups/unders are only for people who use anachronistic MSIE.

9. Firefox user here too. Didn't even realize pop-ups were still a prob. |
|
I had to use Internet Exploder the other day at school. Gods, what a piece of crap that program is! I'm really stumped as to why people still use it. :shrug:

Of course it's too good to be true. You have to sign up for a thousand free trials, and a lot them aren't even free.
Of course, that's on the work computer. I rarely have that problem at home. Three pop=up blockers and Firefox. They work wonders.

I call it the Granddaddy of Pop-Ups: remember those awful X-10 webcam ads? I think they started the ball rolling.
But the ones I see mostly are insurance, refinance, and dating ads.
