I know it's possible to disable pop-ups, and that's the default behavior, but It's not affecting the pop-unders.

You can try using the AppleScript found on this page.
I just tried it out and it perfectly works fine in Chrome 12.0.742.122.
It's extremely easy to set up:
- download the Bundle archive
- double click it to unpack it
- double click on
OpenUrlInNewChromeWindow - open Safari and set the new "Browser" as the default browser in the Preferences.
No, this is not possible unless Apple allows this in a future iOS update.

Yes,
but you need to block all scripts on a domain using Chrome's own script blocking feature.
Why?
Pop-unders are usually via JavaScript. In order to disable them, I block javascript on the specific site using
the extension ScriptNoChrome's build-in script blocking in:Settings → Show advanced settings → Content settings → JavaScript → JavaScript Exceptions
At the moment Chrome's API do not allow proper script blocking which is also why Firefox' NoScript developer has not yet ported his extension. Third-party extensions like ScriptNo suffer from the same problem.
The lack of needed API can allow scripts to still load the first time you visit a website.
By design there is no option for extensions to effectively block scripts like in Firefox, therefore the only way to stop this behavior is to block all scripts on a domain using Chrome's settings which I mentioned at the top.
