- Google's Chrome browser is a popular alternative for Mac users, and even though Google is a full paid-up member of the advertising fan club, it allows plenty of scope for ad-blocking.
- The modern web is a distraction disaster. Every website you visit wants you to buy something, subscribe to its newsletter, or simply overload you with in-your-face ads.
Make sure Safari security settings are turned on, particularly Block Pop-ups—for pop-up windows—and the Fraudulent Website Warning. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings Safari and turn on Block Pop-ups and Fraudulent Website Warning. On your Mac, you can find these options in Safari Preferences.

Just to stir the fire a little...
I DON'T have tabs on and I DO have pop up's blocked and links that open a new window work just fine for me.
Perhaps you have discovered a bug. Try turning off tabs and see if that changes the behavior.
If so I would tell Apple
cheers

Thanks for this hint, CMD-click works great!
Recently however, I've noticed that Safari blocks popups no matter if the popup blocker is enabled or not.
Has anyone seen this? Better, is there a fix for it?

I don't know what web sites you navigate, but in the ones I use
(including Apple's GSX Service web site), pop-ups which I
trigger by clicking on them open correctly, with no problems.
The same with all other web sites.
Holding the CMD key down when you have tabbed browsing
enabled doesn't bypass pop-up blocking at all, it simply tells
Safari to open the link in a new tab, which by default is in the
background, or foreground if your tab browsing preferences are
set that way.
All in all, this hint makes no sense and gives incorrect
information. It's possible certain web sites are incorrectly
programmed and Safari doesn't recognize that as a correct user-
triggered pop-up, but this works fine in Safari as well as in
Mozilla as in Opera 7...

I wondered about this myself. Especially considering I've got a few of those links on our company's web site. I have 'Block Popup Windows' enabled, and clicking a link which popups up a window works as advertised without turning off links. For example, this link from my company's web page has windows whose target='_blank' and they work fine (bonus: this link has target='_blank' too!):Medata Fee Schedules page
Fine (you may say?), but those aren't 'javascript popups'... Well, both of the images on the left are clickable javascript window.open() links... They work fine too.
Are we talking about the same thing?
(on a side note, ever wondered what would happen if you opened a target='_blank' link from a window which itself was opened with target ='_blank'? Now's your chance!;-p)

Safari will bring up new windows when I click on links, even with
pop-up blocking turned on.

You're confused between two entirely different beasts:
(1) Javascript on a page that pops up a new window;
(2) Links that specify a target, which open in a new window when clicked upon.Safari's 'Block Pop-Up Windows' is a javascript filter. Holding the Command key is a shortcut that opens a link in a new window (and with Shift, the new window opens behind the current window).
