Which web sites (other than porn sites, and NO LINKS, remember) seem to be the worst when it comes to spewing out several popup ads? Whenever I visit www.moviemistakes.com I get 3 or 4 pop-ups at once, and not just when I go to the main page, either, but any time I go to a new page within the site. My pop-up blocker, which makes a buzzing sound every time it kills an ad, sounds like a bug zapper whenever I hit this site.

- Porn sites and warez sites are the worst, but only if you’re using a browser that doesn’t block pop-ups. And we can’t post links to either here, so this thread is doomed.

~Anyone who has seen the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode where Master Shake starts getting hit with pop-up ads might know of one. The website is (or was, I don’t dare check again) www.yzzrdd.com. The site does nothing but flood your machine with pop-up ads (as seen on the episode) until you are forced to reboot.
Very annoying, but credit to the episode writers for making the connection.
About.com is pretty pop-up ladened ofr a non-porn, non-trying-to-sell-you something site.
Actually, the Boston globe is pretty bad as well.
The Boston Globe website, that is…
That’s www.boston.com…
I seem to remember Orbitz being full of pop-ups, maybe that’s changed.
Since I started using Mozilla as a browser, I don’t see any pop-ups anymore. Don’t miss 'em, either.

I used to like a site called “Foreign Languages for Travelers” (http://www.travlang.com) - just to compare basic words in various languages…to see how close Russian is to Polish for instance…but the site is now completly unusable…which is a shame because I’d really enjoy it if it were navegable
