Adblock took care of the problem for me, but I need to try the Houston Chronicle website. They have garbage like AJSully421 describes.

New pop-unders
I hate pop-unders!!! I've noticed several websites now that have a new type of pop-under. Until this new development, I could put my cursor on the pop-under and get a thumbnail of it. I'd click on the "X" to delete it, without having to bring it up to full size.
This isn't possible with the new ones. Unless you click on them to bring them up, you cannot get to the "X" to delete it. When your cursor gets close to the "X" the pop-under reduces.
Unfortunately, pop-unders seem to be on conservative websites more than others. I now have a new personal policy; I don't go to any site that uses pop-unders of any type. Congratulations guys, you lost a reader and I hope that grows to millions of readers.
