Man is this MF'er annoying, more than on most blogger sites. I got the same trouble as the OPer, and NO its not fixed as of today. Its a nuisance. Opinion Central is one culprit.
I have to constantly hit re-load and knock down the pop-up in order to access the FT Forums. It never works/loads right the first time. I almost always have to hit reload once or twice to access the forums, then it will work after the blocker finally beats them back.
My privacy pop-up blocker is also constantly fighting no less than 13 other cookie and pop-up items here in FT, most of which appear to be coming from someplace called a.tribalfusion.com (major pest) and ad.linkssynergy.com among others.
It would be nice if I could just log-in the first time, and without all the privacy intrusions, pop-ups and ad cookies.
