I for one won't miss them if and/or when they're gone. Everybody's gotta make a living, but popups simply got to be too intrusive for my taste.

What about adware and spyware blocking!!! pop-ups aren't nearly as annoying as spammers getting your address.

Mozilla Firebird is a terrific browser. I use it and get ZERO popups. It's great for most browsing.

Great, are they going to do anything about default settings for active x scripting or for those insidious browser hijackers? MS has blown it, I'm using Mozilla from now on.

Click here: NEW ADS New pop Up that can't be blocked

Does that mean we can go back to checking drudge?

Slight problem though. Many websites have popups as an intregral part of their site. FedEx.com shipping for one (worst put together site on the internet). If you have a pop up stopper, you have to disable it to make the site work. What's gonna happen with this change.

"I think this will continue to stimulate creative minds in the ad community to find quality ways to reach an audience and communicate with them," he said. "You can't stop technology and innovation, so you continue to adapt."

There's no explaining the cluelessness of individuals or groups who seem unaware that they are their own worst enemy.

I would never but any product, no matter how useful, from an uninvited popup ad.

Period.

End of discussion.

Go download the Google toolbar. Kills popups. Works. Painless.

Safari on the Mac, no popups, and its very fast and clean. Life's too short to spend it doing Windows.

Internet Explorer gets even better. Congrats Microsoft.
