I've gotten some nasty popups in the past on this site, some of them containing malware.

That's only when I'm running a "fresh" browser install with no adblockers installed yet.


I like uBlock Origin on chrome and firefox, but I'm still using Adblock Plus on safari.

If you're using Chrome just go to the apps page and search for AdBlock.

If you're not, start using Chrome and install that ad blocker.

AdBlocker Ultimate is the best. Now blocking 24 ads. Add Ghostery to the list, now blocking 10 trackers.
