When popups took over advertising in the late 90s, browsers were quick to interrupt that annoyance.
It seems that browser companies (besides brave obviously) have conceded defeat to the general decline of the web.
They could do better to address bloat, slow performance and irritations like cookie & upsell (e.g. mailing list) popups.
web usage has already cratered. No one wants to use it because it's a usability nightmare.
Browsers need to take action before the web is completely dead.
