hehe, seem to be plugging for opera alot. It's got a nice pop-up preference
you can enable so that all pop-ups will be blocked *except* for requested 
ones.
So it will only show pop-ups that you actively trigger by selecting a link.
This pretty much caters for all the ones you specifically want at any time
and ignores all those spammy ones you get hit with that trigger without
any literal request from you. Hopefully moz will have something like this
at some stage - it gets around having to maintain a list.

Cheers,
Dan.
