On many news articles I am getting some words double-underlined and they pop open when moused over. This does not happen in FireFox or Safari. They never show up in those Browsers, only in OmniWeb.
Any ideas anyone??? John

It's a form of advertising called "in-text" advertising. If you enable the "block inline content from third party sites" setting in OmniWeb's preferences, I *think* that'll block them. (I have that setting turned on, at least, and I haven't been seeing these sorts of ads in OmniWeb.)

Okay, as I was tweaking my ad-blocking settings, I noticed that I had "vibrantmedia\.com" on my "don't load content from" list. That's the company that provides all those text ads, if I remember correctly.

Thanx Brian, but that didn't help anything. They're still there.
vibrantmedia/.com <----- this is what I blocked.

Brian, don't feel bad as they are now popping up in Safari and Camino too. Only FireFox 3.6.11 with the "NoScript" extension is immune from these annoying "mouse-over" pop-ups, at least for now that is.

There are a few services that create these, which site are you seeing them on?
