Another trend is the so called pop-under ad, that will appear in a new windows behind the page you are reading. It would not be so bad if the advertiser didn't make these ads loud. By doing so, they force you to actually minimize your window and go close that obnoxious ad. The worst being when two windows with different messages run at the same time.

While it works very well, Adblock itself updates almost daily, and when it does it always takes you to it's own site upon initial startup. This amounts to a pop-up ad all on it's own. Consequently, I've adopted a policy of only allowing it to install updates on "2nd decimal" updates only. This appears to eliminate most 'trivial' updates.
