*hugs firefox and adblock plus*
I didn't get a single pop-up or pup-under. The web is so much nicer when it's not full of adverts.

well
i have firefox/adblock too, but its kinda irrelevant on that site.
The ads are flash based and "pop-up" over the actual game, as i remember it happened to me after playing for about 15-20 mins - it caused firefox to crash for me once (using a 2.3ghz core2duo btw, so its not like i have a crappy comp)... and adblock/firefox's built in popup blocker cant do shit about flash pop-ups as the popup scripts are contained within the flash itself (as opposed to html or java popups.)
And as for the kongregate/facebook issues - serves you right for using a spastic site like facebook in the first place :p, ads are the least of your worries there - facebook (set up by a marketing company, ala myspace, who were forced to diversify after the california anti spam laws came into effect... as thats how they used to make their money) selling all your details to the highest bidder probably is.

little secret for social network sites
and any sites that ask for info before letting you do stuff.
1) have a seperate email account to register to them so all the spam goes there.
2) fill in most detaisl with "No" ie
No No
0 No Street
No Town No
N0 00N
