I think that's a bit naive. Some changes from the default are so accepted and given today, we'd end up with a bizarre situation where browsers ship with a "broken" default that nobody wants.
We are just so used to it that we don't even think about it. Do you think websites should be able to spawn unlimited popups, even as you try to close them? I remember that horror.
- kolpa 9y agoThe browser launches the first N popups and then offers to block the rest. No problem.
- Drakim 9y agoBlocking popups when the JS of the page is clearly trying to spawn more is not "default behavior" at all, it's a trick browser vendors do to enhance the user experience.
- wtetzner 9y agoI much prefer the existing solution, where all popups are blocked, and I get an indicator showing that a popup was blocked, with the option of enabling it. You're solution works as long as I can set N to 0, I guess.
