Popup blocker extensin for Safari

Does anyone know a good popup blocker extension for Safari? Safari's
built-in blocker doesn't allow whitelisting the *very( occasional popups
that I want to allow.

Preventing them isn't the issue, it is being able to allow the very
occasional popups that are desired.
