"As we can see, almost all popup killers are detected by this test. It means that if advertisers [or legitimate businesses] will declare a war on popup killers, they will easily win".
Does anyone know how to still make a legitimate popup window if you can detect a popup killer?
Have anyone tried creating actual code or a workaround that uses a similiar detector.
Does anyone have the codes to detect most popup killers?
Thanks for all your replies.

I have heard that a few people are getting around pop-up blockers and delivering a kind of pop-up ad anyway -- but I don't think they do this with a standard javascript new window. I haven't seen any code but I would guess that after detecting a blocker they might deliver the message through a DHTML approach.
However, I would not consider it very good marketing to force a message on someone who has in essence said "No Messages". I wonder how it could get any return that was worth the bandwidth, and I wonder if doing that wouldn't dirty the image of any business being force fed.
Now I am actually more curious to see if there is a more elegnat/seamless way to detect a popup blocker and then redirect that content in the main window (without a popup). Obviously, if there isn't a blocker detected then the popup would work. The content of the popup is an legitimate application that is pulled from a different domain.
