Daily Dose of Common Sense

Netflix may be a great service but I’ll never subscribe. The reason? Pop-under ads. If you are a web surfer, you’ve seen these ads come up and then disappear quickly as you visit various sites. Then, as you’re closing windows, there’s a stupid Netflix ad taking up space.

I know you can block them with a pop-up blocker, but that doesn’t work all of the time. For some sneaky reason, the pop-under ads sometimes get around it.

If you’re fed up like me, here are a few sites that can help: How to Block Netflix Popup in Firefox, How Can I Get Rid of Netflix Popups?, Netflix Pop-ups in IE8.

Netflix should STOP advertising like this. It doesn’t win them any friends, only enemies.
