They're Back!!

I knew this day would come, but the wonders of Safari and Firefox kept me in denial. Pop-ups, or pop-unders for some, are back with a vengeance.
I noticed this recently with my favorite icon site xicons.com. It’s part of my morning links, and every time I came to its tab a pop-under would do it's business all over my desktop. Apparently you can turn off Java or JavaScript to get rid of the problem under Safari, but that means you’ll often get an error message telling you about the Java plug-in you seem to be missing. In Firefox you can use an extension called Flashblocker which is said to get rid of the ads at the expense of blocking any legitimate flash you might try to view. At least with the extension you get no error messages time and time again.
At any rate, I hope Apple puts out an update to Safari soon since I prefer using that over Firefox on the Mac. Either that or I just boycott xicons until a fix is available…
