I did a search to no avail. I also have "Block Pop-Up Windows" checked in Safari.
With that out of the way, how do you block (annoying) Netflix pop-up / pop-under ads in Safari? I seem to get a few of these a day.
Thanks!

While you may not be able to stop the the window from popping, you can stop the Flash and images. I have both SafariBlock and Click ToFlash installed. This solves 99% of my ad problems.

Semi-related...is there a way to force new windows opened by Javascript to always appear as tabs behind the current one? FF does this, and it essentially gets rid of the annoying windows.
If you're going to use ClickToFlash, consider unchecking "Load invisible Flash views". It does break something, but it really cuts down on some annoying features such as Flashcookies.

The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

Safari Stand can block plugins in general, and puts a grey box over the space that they would occupy. If you want to play something from a plugin, you need only to click on the box.

Thanks for the suggestions.
BTW, I just downloaded Google Chrome for Mac and noticed that it blocks the Netflix ads (so far).
