Chrome Better Pop Up Block (v2.1.6) interferes with Hotmail

http://optimalcycling.com/other-projects/better-pop-up-blocker/

It is this popup blocker 2.16 that prevents from opening up Hotmail within Chrome browser.

With all my other extensions and plugins enabled or turned on, when the popup is enabled, email messages could not open Hotmail but could if it is disabled.

Surprisingly, Hotmail actually works very well with Chrome and is tacitly recommended by Microsoft to use!
