:::::You could read the JavaScript referenced from the pages you visit (JS is how they usually do it). But that is pretty advanced. First, learn JavaScript. Then find developer extensions for your browser that let you view the JavaScript that is loaded in various sneaky ways. Then you'll discover that much of JavaScript is minimized/obfuscated. It's an uphill battle; sometimes it can be done, sometimes it's not worth it. Better avoid sites that do popunders. And obviously never buy anything from popunder ads or click them, that would just encourage the miscreants.
