Fails to stop Popups on NSFW websites #173

I have this Adguard Popup Blocker userscript installed in Violentmonkey and am using the Chrome Browser Version 73.0.3683.103 (Official Build) (64-bit).

Unfortunately this AdGuard Popup Blocker completely fails to block popups served by the ad networks on the majority of NSFW adult content websites.

These are frequently triggered when trying to play a video, you then find yourself on another unwanted website for "livecams", "dating" or "fake warnings" are displayed telling you update your "Flash Player" is outdated or that your "browser security" is compromised.

This happens quite frequently on these NSFW websites with Adguard Popup blocker installed and so far this adblocker has NOT STOPPED ANY AT ALL.

I also tried installing this in TamperMonkey, but once again it fails to block anything of this nature on NSFW adult content sites.

I could literally post several hundreds of websites where this behaviour is rampant and Adguard Popup Blocker has failed completely.

It is quite clear that a great deal more attention needs to be focused upon dealing with those popups on NSFW websites as they are the most aggresive and difficult ones to deal with.

For me this popup blocker has been a dismal failure and has simply not lived up its advertised claims and hype.

The Adguard Team whom are the publishers of this script simpy mark these reports of failures on this website as "Low Priority".

This is unacceptable as this Adguard Popup Blocker script is only designed to block popups and nothing else.

In my view the missed popups should be dealt with as a High Priority issue.

People only install this purely for on simple reason, to get rid of popups.

The publishers need to provide a quick and easy way to report missed popups and deal with those missed popups as soon as possible.

Perhaps this Adguard Popup Blocker could be modified to include a quick and simple way to report a missed popup back to Adguard.

The Chrome Extension "Poper Blocker" has a reporting system for missed popups https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pop-up-blocker-for-chrome/bkkbcggnhapdmkeljlodobbkopceiche,

Please take a look at their reporting system and develop something similar.
