NSFW How do I block adult website popups on Google Chrome? (Mac)

Asked by LeavesNoTrace (5674points) November 21st, 2012

So I’ll come right out and say it. I’m a woman who watches porn sometimes. Okay now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk about the problem.

Even though I use a Mac and browse with Chrome (both of which are supposed to prevent popups) as soon as I start browsing adult content, the bots, camgirls and illicit ads start popping up in new windows. Beyond being annoying, this can also be potentially embarrassing if you forget to click out of them when you’re done only to have it appear up at a bad time later (ie. during a work/school presentation)

I tried going to preferences > under the hood > content settings and “Do not allow any site to show pop-ups” is already selected. What gives? Are sleaze bags who porn sites so crafty that they’ve found a way around browser settings? Is there anything I can do?
