Hide "Website Blocked" popup

Hi, is there a way to hide the a tab from popping up when I've blocked said site? Having a new tab pop up with the "WEBSITE BLOCKED" message is barely better than just seeing the advertisement.

I know Firefox gives you a small notification on the side and allows you to open it just in case. Is there an edit or plugin for opera that does the same thing?

Hmm, it's disabled but on some sites they still keeps popping up. For instance:

Web Address Blocked

The address http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/N1684.ThePiratebay/B6365063.2;sz=1x1;anid=[anid];ord=123315199? is blocked by the content blocker.

To undo the block, right-click on the page, select "Block Content", and click the "Details" button to edit the list of blocked content.

Yes, often I see Website blocked, instead of the notification at the bottom right.
There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers....

They are two completely different things, One is a "Pop-up blocker" (Blocks sites, Windows, Tabs etc from appearing) notification, And the other is a "Content blocker" (Blocks page contents, Images, Adverts, Elements etc from appearing on the page you are viewing) notification.
