thanks for this great extension. are you checking for issues regularly?

the URL below is a online tv series watching site, as the example for this problem. select Fembed from "alternatifler" to get to it.

the site itself or Fembed video source finds a way to use default open method. after first timed ad, it overlays another invisible onclick one, and maybe a third. the last one somehow accesses to default open method to open ad url in new tabs.

can you check when you have time?

I have encountered many edge cases with this project (and I should probably document them). But since it mostly works as intended, it does have a low priority in my backlog. I keep coming back to it nonetheless to see if there's something to improve or a bug to fix.

As for your example, I can't investigate the problem since I can't access the website you provided. (something about a Cloudflare protect service).

Can you provide a link to the Fembed iframe instead?

Sorry to say I cannot provide a link as of now.

I am not sure in what source I mentioned, but either they fixed that intrusiveness, or removed the ad that does that. currently.

as you stated you might not respond for long if this happens again. what possibilities you have in mind so I can check myself next time I find such intrusive ones?

I think I see now how the ad could bypass the popup blocker. This website provides several test cases, and Method #2 from window.open section matches your description:

uses a pre-defined pointer for window.open(...) to prevent dynamic object overwrites

Now I'm not sure how to fix this issue. I'll have to experiment with it further.
