AWS Pop-UP Remover

Removing pop-up off free hosting service

Hi, could you guys help me? If you visit <No URLs, thanks. See TOS [webmasterworld.com]> this annoying pop-up keeps appearing because its hosted on a free server. I have tried everything like Hijacking the window, superscript, no script tags etc. Do you guys know any Javascript codes that could remove it? Feel free to view the page source and read the code that is automatically inserted at the top about <html>. If you know how to remove this, I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks

On some of those free hosting sites you are violating their terms of service if you try to remove the popup or advertising they put on the page.

Try the Google Toolbar or Firefox to remove popups.

Thanks.

That'll only stop pop-ups on mitchbarnes' browser, which isn't so much the point.

One way could be to 'steal' & redirect the open method:

window.realOpen = window.open
window.open = function(){}

But this won't help if the host is inserting their script at the top of the page, and the pop-up is launched immediately. They may have also done a similar trick themselves to protect their access to the open method.
