UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/31.0

Example URL:
http://thepiratebay.org/

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Visit thepiratebay.org.
2. Search for a torrent.
3. Try to open some results.

What is the expected behavior?
Results pages open normally.

What went wrong?
False positives and negatives. The results pages don't always open, being
mistakenly treated as ads. And some popups display, somehow slipping
through Chrome's popup blocker.

Does it occur on multiple sites: N/A

Is it a problem with a plugin? No

Did this work before? N/A

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

That's not much of a popup blocker, is it?

less than one new window per click kinda breaks basic functionality of a
