How can I enable a notification that a pop-up has been blocked in Safari?

Question

QUESTION: Just wondering how to enable an alert message notifying me that a pop-up has been blocked?

I know Firefox has that feature(and other related pop-up options), but I don't use Firefox... also preferably avoid 3rd party apps.

I have Safari 5.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8.

So you're looking for what amounts to a second switch: silently block pop-ups / noisily block pop-ups ? (just looking to understand what the notification might be)
@bmike In Chrome and other browsers, you are alerted to the blocking of a popup by an audio alert and an icon. As far as I can see, no alert is given in Safari. Jon would like to enable such an alert.

Better Pop Up Blocker does trigger an alert in Safari when a popup is locked.

And it also improves the effectiveness of Safari's blocking.

But - the alert behaviour does not work in Lion! Snow Leopard only. If the dev updates it for Lion it should do what you request.

	OP specified 10.6.8 but nice call out on lion issues – bmike♦ Aug 4 '11 at 16:11
	Thanks! This does the job, specifically: Unchecking `Window targets (Checking this forces pages to load in the same tab)`. I was going to wait until all the bugs are out of Lion anyway. – Jon Aug 4 '11 at 22:23
