Especially since popup blockers are easy to come by.

Here's the one I've been using lately without problems:

And it's freeware.

I don't know why anyone is bothered by pop-ups
in the first place with excellent pop-up blockers
and alternative browsers with built-in pop-up blockers.
A quick search of the Web will turn up several.
One I like is Free Surfer. Easy to turn off when
a site uses pop-ups for non-ad things. Easy to turn
back on when finished. Install a blocker and stop
worrying about pop-ups.
