Haven't seen a pop-up in I don't know how many years; 15 maybe. Just curious how this one is managing to function, suddenly.

Dropa was right, it is coming from the site. see screenshot Just a newsletter sign-up and not really an ad. It looks like Adblock Plus can block it. see screenshot

ABP blocked and I clicked around for a few minutes and never saw it again.
