It's possible to configure Avant to open new windows, including pop ups, as tabbed windows in the background, out of sight. When you're done browsing a site with pop ups, shut all open tabs (CTRL + Shift + W) or close the browser. Simple. Result - benefit of tutorials gained, annoyance minimised. :-) Sittingblue's tuts are well worth this small effort.

Cheers,
Mark
