you still need a adblocker

NoScript will prevent the javascript that opens the windows from loading in the first place.  A side effect is that you won't be able to view file lists, change pages in comments, or leave comments, but NoScript will let you temporarily enable javascript when needed.

I don't believe that's true. I use uMatrix to disable Javascript and I get pop ups in Firefox. I also tried uBlock Origin's popup blocker and it doesn't work either. The opened popups are instantly closed on TPB, fortunately.

You can believe whatever you want, but if you actually disabled javascript then the code that opens the windows won't be executed. So dig a little deeper into those settings because if you are getting pop ups, you haven't disabled javascript.

Sorry, I had JS enabled for a longer period because commenting and inspecting files isn't possible without. I don't recall getting popups after disabling JS again.
Feel free to delete this chain.

For some reason every time I click a link on thepiratebay.org it opens a new pop in a window giving me some stupid spam crap and then the download link can't be clicked. It pops up ads about stupid VPN and other dumb shit. Started today. Never did it before.
