Customize pop-up blocking?

Hi, all -

Is there any way to customize the pop-up blocking functionality of Chimera? I would like to allow pop-ups for a small number of sites, but can't figure out any way to do this...

Thanks!

I'm interested in this as well. Does Mozilla have this functionallity and if so in which file does it store the sites that can pop-up windows? If we knew how to do it by editing one of the files in the profile folder it would be a nice first step. Currently Chimera itself has no way of setting this up but *should* be able to do custom blocking if it is supported in Mozilla 1.0 and it has the file with the settings in its profiles folder.

I have not seen it in the latest Mozilla.

The current release of Netscape 7.01 for OSX does offer "exceptions" to the pop-up blocking.

I moved to Chimera when it was 0.5 and have almost totally gotten away from IE 5.2.2.

I to would like to customize the pop-up blocking.

The all or none decision is a hard call to make.

I've been d/l the nightly builds for over a month, however there is so much to check out.

Found out Mozilla can do it using the same method as blocking images from a specific domain. It requires a third true/false setting in the cookperm file. The first sets acceptance of cookies, the second images, and the third is pop-up blocking. Unfortunately Chimera just ignores it. >.<
