Almost all of this is still relevant today, except for one part: > 2. Opening New Browser Windows > Opening up new browser windows is like a vacuum cleaner sales person who starts a visit by emptying an ash tray on the customer's carpet. Don't pollute my screen with any more windows, thanks (particularly since current operating systems have miserable window management). If I want a new window, I will open it myself! Nowadays, the bigger problem is on-page modal windows. Current operating systems now have very good window management, and browsers have zero window management, except for the ability to block popup windows[0]. I get very annoyed by websites that break my ability to open links in multiple tabs/windows by right-clicking, or force me to use their built-in modal windows as a substitute for popups. Most modern Google properties are culprits of this. For example: if you have a website with Google Apps for Business, it is impossible to open most links in new tabs - they force you to use the on-page navigation instead. The only solution is to open a second tab and navigate to the same location. We became so afraid of popup windows that we've swung too far in the other direction, and are suffering the consequences. [0] The solution is not to create a window manager for the browser, by the way.
