Hey guys, what is the best POP UP blocker for Safari? I know there are all those plugins like AdBlock(er), Glimmer Blocker and what not, but I'm mainly annoyed with popup windows that I get on certain pages like Megaupload and numerous others.

The reason I'm asking is because I wish to have a plugin/add-on that will focus on blocking pop ups, but NOT ads. Sometimes it happens that certain ads on some pages might be useful, so I rather don't want to use those ad-blocking plugins because sometimes they will even end up blocking other stuff (like online vids) than just ads and it gets annoying. I remember when I used AdBlock Plus on Firefox it just blocked pop ups for me, but not all the ads and stuff, which is exactly what I wanted. Is there such thing for Safari too?

And yes, I do have the "Block Pop-Up Windows" option enabled in Safari.
