so that we can rid it of spam, pop up windows, flash, webpages with sound, javascript, kiddie porn, perverts in chat rooms, frames, animations, AOL. (I'm sure there are plenty more things that could be added to the list)
That AntiAdBlocker crap they have put on their web site appears to be 100% server side. If you so much as breath out of time it stops you viewing the site content. - Hey a great idea!!
Just one minor (read HUGE) problem - Will it increase ad revenue? No What it will do is reduce site visitors who block ads and pop ups, forums will have less visitors and become less appealing, so then the people who don't block ads and pop ups will lose interest and the poor webmaster will end up losing all his visitors and what little ad revenue you do get.
It might just encourage more people to switch from IE to browsers with built in pop up blocking, such as Mozilla/Firebird.
I imagine future versions of IE may have tabs, but I'd be amazed if they add pop up blocking. - Even if IE did block pop ups, they couldn't block application error pop ups:)
But then again I live in the UK, where broadband is still in its infancy.
I could get ISDN at 128k, but ISDN isn't a 24/7 connection, and i'd have to pay more than the lucky few that can get a permanent broadband connection, and thats before I include any online time charges I'd have to pay for, which equate to over £1/hour.
Funny how BT reckon that 80% of the UK can now get broadband, despite the fact that of all the tech savvy people I know, only 20-30% can get it in their area.

No, that just attacks web servers that haven't been patched since the 1970's

It's time for version 2 of the internet.

They are a bunch of flippin muppets.
that they all contain spam but in a web page rather than an email.
So why not use spam filtering algorythms to detect if a pop up should be allowed or not?
I'm not a programmer, so I don't know how feasible this idea is.

If you want to play PC games so bad, why don't you buy a PC?
If I wanted to use OS X so bad, I'd go out and buy a mac, rather than bitch about how it won't run on my PC.
