Just wondering if anyone knows of a way to selecitvely block pop-ups from specific websites and not others. As it is today, Safari's blocks all or none. Sometimes the web is not that black and white...

I'm looking to see if it's possible via AppleScript but I have not found anything remotely related.

Any ideas, clues, code examples, discussions etc?

Thanks,

It blocks all scripted server called pop ups such as pop up ads. It does not block links that open new pop ups like at flash sites.

So you are safe as long as the web site knows how to code correctly. So flash sites can't code for crap and won't work in Safari, but most do.

I see... What about the ones that don't know how to code for crap? There are a few of those that I need to visit frequently. Is there anyway to implement some kind of custom filter that will bypass the Safari block pop-up setting for certain sites?

Thanks,

No.

But you can hit command-K before going to one of those sites, and hit it again when leaving.

Although you can't set it to activate/deactivate for specific sites automatically, it is pretty easy to hit command-K to toggle pop-up blocking.
