That is what so nice about iptables.  You can block some of the Pop-ups.
But then some sites reject you if you have a block on the pop-ups.

They've gotta pay the bills somehow.....

My opinion is that if you use their service for free,
you should tolerate the annoyance of the ads.  A lot
of these guys are the same as you and me...trying to
make a buck and write cool software....

It's a shame more people aren't willing to pay a
little to keep these companies in business.  Then
there'd be no need for popups.
