http:*?tid=$popup closes tabs that are neither ads or popups

[fluxtendu]

This filter: http:*?tid=$popup (which is in the FRA: EasyList Liste FR‎) closes tabs that are neither ads or popups...

You could try to right click and open in a new tab this link to a post from the kodi forum: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=252852.

Steps to reproduce:

1. add FRA: EasyList Liste FR to your filter lists
2. Right click and open in a new tab any link to a post from the kodi forum

• Browser/version: Google Chrome 49.0.2623.87 m (64-bit)
• uBlock Origin version: 1.6.4

Hi,
fixed, purge & update your filters lists.

It's nice to have removed the filter from the list, but I'm not sure that's a normal behaviour for "$popup" to be active when a new tab is opened manually...

I looked into this again this morning, with a rested mind.

not sure that's a normal behaviour for "$popup" to be active when a new tab is opened manually

A site could create an invisible <a> tag which covers the whole page, and a click on the page would be perceived as a normal click, and the popup would not be properly filtered and this case. So this was really a case of a way too broad popup filter.
