So my real gripe is with javascript popups triggered on click - they aren't blocked (which is reasonable since that can break apps), which is why the idea of displaying it only within the tab and not interrupting the user was brilliant. Except chrome doesn't do that anymore! (or maybe it never actually did, I can't remember). "There's no concept of a drive-by pop-up in Chrome. JavaScript has no way to force a pop-up into your world. Pop-ups are scoped to the tab they came from -- and confined there. If it's something you want, though -- just drag it out and it'll be promoted to its own window."
