Thanks.. I forgot about the popup ads. I think that (100s) was a little more rare than common websites opening a handful of popups... by the end of the session, you have a screen full of popups to close.
... and then popup blockers were invented.
Which is a good point -- advertisers abused a privilege (ability to open a window), and internet users adapted, their business model adapted, and they survived it just fine.
The same thing needs to happen again. I really feel it's the advertisers/websites that have once again abused a privilege. If they can't make money, they should look at themselves. No one signs up for internet service to check out the latest ad blockers. Users install them because they have to (just like why they installed popup blockers).
