I have already installed Adblockplus, but those popups still open up behind my browser.
Any other suggestions?
And by the way I have no idea how to install Fanboy on Safari? And that new link you gave me still points back to the old webpage with the BROKEN LINKS!
For the record, why doesn't addblockplus stop thoose annoying popus from opening up? I see a quick flash and then windows open up behind Safari!
SURELY there is a way to stop that????

2. Download Adblock from Safari extensions gallery.
3. Go to Adblock options, Filter Lists, then click HERE.
4. Scroll down to Fanboy's Annoyances list and hit Subscribe.
5. Click Homepage on Fanboy's Annoyances list and subscribe Annoyances again.

When I follow your steps, I do NOT see Fanboy's Annoyances list anywhere!
The last thing I see on my list is "EasyPrivacy (privacy protection)"
How did you get fanboys to appear?
Ok, but how did you get the fanboys "addon"? I dont see that one anywhere.

A lot of random websites which have videos, many of them do it. When I click on the video to play the video, I see a quick flash and a window opens up in the background. No matter what I have tried to do, they keep opening!
Is there a way to STOP this happening?
Give javascript blocker and ghostery a try. they both are under security in safari extensions gallery. Can't think of anything else.
Installed both javascript blocker and ghostery, but popups still popup
Anyone else have a solution? Or is it impossible to stop 100% of all popus on Safari?
What browser can stop 100% of all popus?
