I guess this is the trick 99% of porn sites use to do "pop-unders" now. Shouldn't the fix for this be in the browers?

  Yep. Open requested link in a new tab, change the previous tab to some autoplay video or fake chat interface. It's not phishing exactly, but it is certainly devious.

    To be fair, not all of those chat interfaces were fake. Some are just scripts that connect to real people quickly once you interact favorably. Then they try to sell you on $50 of cam show credits.
