Thanks for contacting us. Could I please ask you to try disabling the popup blocking functionality in Ad Muncher (under "Options" / "Popups", turn off "Block automatic popup windows").

There is a behavior in the popup filtering code that will try to close a new window if it's opened automatically and then moved to the background. This *shouldn't* be triggering if the link is being clicked by the user but this will just check if that's what's going on.

This did the trick, but now AM is not blocking the popup ads?

[Murray]

Thanks very much for taking the time to confirm. We're currently rushing to get the next version of Ad Muncher ready for release, but I'll investigate further ASAP.

[progh]

Any news on this issue?

[Murray]

Still rushing to finish the next beta, will post news when I have some. Sorry for the delay.

[progh]

bump!

Seriously? You're still waiting on this fix?

What the heck is going on with this program? I think it's time to start thinking ahead to an alternative. Nothing lasts forever....

I'm not sure what you mean.

Ad Muncher is still going strong as it ever was.

You get https filtering working, and I'll agree with you. For now, I'll be TRYING ABP with Firefox, so I can have 100% adblocking again. This is the first time I'm using an alternative adblocker since 2004. So I disagree with you - out here, in user-land, things aren't as smooth as you think. But keep being flippant - I'm sure that's always done well for folks.

HTTPS isn't something you just slap on.

It will be the most complicated thing we *ever* add.
