I've forgotten much of the early part of the 2000s, were people getting all upset about pop-up blocking back then?

- EarthLaunch 11y agoNot this much, because journalists were still stuck on paper, techies weren't attention-seeking altruists, popup windows were more annoying, and extensions were more niche (IE was still big).
- Khaine 11y agoMany people were. Don't forget about all the brouhaha over doubleclick and its efforts to track you. I remember people (techy) being concerned about it. Personally, I remember running proxmitron to block ads and tracking junk, and adding functionality to websites back in the day. Nothing has really changed in the last 15 years.
