In my Linux system I am using Opera 6.0 TP2 for ordinary browsing. It has the option of allowing you to accept pop-ups, reject pop-ups or to open opo-ups in the background.

You don't even see the ones opened in the background unless you bring the background window to the foreground. You can kill it without beinging it forward.

This whole idea of pop-ups is a feature for which you ought to be grateful to those nice people at Redmond.

Really??? When are you going to start blaming MSFT for dandruff, el-nino, unsynchronized traffic lights and earthquakes?

Pop-ups are JAVA script. You may wish to thank Sun Micro.
