For a while now I've noticed on web pages I visit there are certain words on the page that are highlighted and if I hover my mouse pointer over them I get these little popup windows. Below is a screenshot I took of one such page....



Is this something I can turn off somewhere? Or is it something inherent in the web sites themselves?

I guess you could turn JavaScript off, but that is the only way to block what you're looking at. You're seeing Kontera ads, which is a popular ad-serving network with many website owners.

I agree it's annoying.

Ok, so it's a web site doing it not my browser. Thanks, wayfarer
