Improve the pop-up blocker please [feature request]

Recently I tried some tests of pop-up blocker on the site: http://www.auditmypc.com/freescan/popup-blocking.asp
I've found out, that Opera 10.52 scored only 35/100 points compared to 100/100 in firefox 3.5.8. :-(

I would be pleased, if Opera was at least so good in blocking of pop-ups as Firefox.... :-)

And the score is gained because Opera's popup blocker is not too aggressive faint

The popups that really annoy me today is the one that appears when you click ANYWHERE on a site.
Opera's popup blocker is good, but it could use some improvement.

opera blocks those if you choose "block all popups"

a nice way to get rid of even more pop-ups is to use the following user js

http://ruzanow.ru/userjs/block-external-scripts.js

WARNING: Some sites might break with this user js installed if that happens open the user js with eny editor (or use the unite user js manager) and add
 "exclude http://the-site-that-broke.com"
