Thankfully popup blockers is standard equipment on most browsers and with adblock plus it really nukes just about all of them. Adblock plus is available even for IE nowYes, adblock plus is a program from the heavens. I do however have it disabled on my most visited websites to that they can continue to get revenue off of ads...like Tom's.

This is actually a compound problem. The people who do disable it for websites they visit allot are often bombarded with a ton of ads while others who keep it on get no ads.
I really think they need to impose standards to ads on websites so that ad block is no longer necessary and everyone can chip in to website revenue. It's a win win really. End user sees few adds while website revenue increases.

If not this guy, someone else would have come up with the POP-UP AD.
Here is the real kicker... various Anti-Pop-up programs came out.. (okay) then these jerks would re-write code the work around the Anti-PU, and do a pop-up?!
Like take a fraggin hint! The person with the Anti-PU doesn't WANT POP UPS and won't buy from the add anyway!
I use pop-up windows for my sites to show information, for which is was attended...

Like no Flashing or Flash, no video, no audio and none of those in window popups that cover the pages contents. Also no ads integrated into the content making it difficult to find the actual link. The worst offenders are on sites like Cnet downloads and Filehippo with fake links that say download.

Yes, those are all problem advertisement methods. The advertisers have to learn that there is a point where an ad turns into an annoyance and that's something you don't want your brand associated with.

Any way to convey that message to Tom's? They are, after all, serving a computer-savvy market, one that is well aware of adblock.
I think it would be reasonable to suggest that they would receive much more ad revenue if they didn't block 25% of the screen real estate on our phones with a banner ad that SCROLLS UP WITH YOU, SO YOU CAN'T ESCAPE IT.
Alternatively, you can try and hit that tiny, tiny x with your fat finger, half the time accidentally loading another page, or the AD ITSELF (which is probably the intended consequence, and what sent me on a fast visit to the adblock website).
Only to find the exact same problem when you go to another Tom's page. Am I the only one this pissses off?
