Sometime this past week I have started getting tons of pop-unders with Safari. It's looking like my Windows IE days. Have these advertisers found some blocker hole? Is anyone else having these problems? Are there any solutions besides switching browsers (I have Firefox and Camino, but they are sluggish compared to Safari).
My setup:
Powerbook G4, 512MB, 60GB, 250GB external, 3G iPod 20GB, 2G iPod mini 4GB
Tiger 10.4.2

It's not 100% though - some still get thru.
Mozilla Org is working on a permanent solution - not sure if the Webcore team is working on this full-on.

With PithHelmet I get 0 pop-ups or pop-unders. Then again, at work with Firefox (Deer Park alpha), I don't either, so maybe I just don't visit sleazy sites.
