        I think you mean popup blockers. This is for a very valid reason. Some websites open small web pages (popups) as soon as you enter a page. This is very annoying for the user, so there were popup blocking programs to prevent this, but now browsers, toolbars, etc. contain popup blockers.

            You might not be able to access the popup blocker, but you can possibly check for the existence of the window that you've opened. If it's no longer opened (i.e. blocked), open a full-size window (because popup blockers usually block small windows). I saw something similar on a BBC webpage. I think the best settings for popup blockers is to block windows which open without user intervention. If the user clicks on something to open a window, it should not be blocked.
