It's there on android and i absolutely hate it!
each tab can have one popup overlaying it. as annoying for advertising, and useless for sites that depends on popups as they usually require more than one, or require one to stay open when you keep working on the tab (which is inaccessible until you close the popup)
why not allow me to open as a new tab, i will never understand.
- k3n 14y agoPerhaps it's 2-fold: 1. if the site requires pop-ups to function, then wouldn't it be handy to have it in front of you? Few apps run this model anymore, but it used to be very prevalent. 2. to highlight the sites that use pop-ups in an underhanded way; by forcing them onto the tab that caused them, hopefully you'd realize the source of the problem. then, complain or quit using that site, indirectly discouraging the use of pop-ups. (although according to a guy above, users actually blamed the ads on Chrome instead).
