Chromium wrongly blocks pop-up links

RaisedFist · 2010-09-12 08:59:19

I use google reader a lot and I have this problem: sometimes, when clicking a news link, I get a chromium "pop-up blocked" warning even if until then, every link gets open in a new tab.

This is how it looks:

I'm not sure why this happens. It just starts after using google reader for some time...

You should report this problem upstream. Also, in the meanwhile, you can allow popups for google reader website.

Every browser that I've used on Linux in recent memory has this problem, regardless if it's webkit or gecko based.

@x33a: I don't want to allow pop-ups. It would open 100 new windows and this is not what I want.

@skottish: never happens to me in firefox.

Also, maybe not relevant, but this doesn't happen in chrome on windows (at work).

There is only one patch applied to chromium and it doesn't seem as if it would cause this issue. http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/package … ra-x86_64/

If you want be 100% sure compile without the patch. However, as you have been advised this is an upstream issue and you need to post upstream.
