Firefox is working on a JS popup blocker. They're collecting data now, use https://github.com/ehsan/popup-reporter to report sites.


Yes!! It's time for browsers/users to fight back against this madness.

We all blocked pop-ups for a reason: they are obnoxious interruptions that interfere with web browsing.

Unfortunately site designers learned the wrong lesson from, thinking "oh, I guess that means we need to come up with a sneakier way of forcing obnoxious pop-ups on users that don't want them."
