Is this a serious question? At the beginning of the web era, popup ad windows were a horrible scourge. That problem was solved, and there was peace for many years. Now the websites themselves produce the popups. Nobody likes popup distractions. Cookie banners are just one example.
- triceratops 4y agoI don't like popups either. Every modern web browser already blocks them. This is just about cookie banners. They may be annoying but they let me withdraw consent to cookies.
- alanbernstein 4y agoEvery modern browser does not already block them. Cookie banners are popups. Email signup prompts are popups. Requests to allow notifications are popups. Etc.
- triceratops 4y agoI was talking about popup windows. You can block websites from asking for notification permissions. Cookie banners and email signup prompts are part of the page. I don't consider them popups.
- alanbernstein 4y agoYou can consider whatever you like, they are still "things that pop up" that most people simply don't want.
