Hey folks, just interested to know if IE 5.2.2 has added a way to disable non-user-initiated pop-up window junk. Both Omniweb and Mozilla have this option, and my current browser (Chimera 0.5, thanks all you Chimera partisans for the recommendation) seems to just ignore popups where I've always seen them appear in IE 5.1--->5.2.1.

The unwanted popup (ads) are the single reason I cannot consider IE right now. I don't have tons of bandwidith, screen real estate, or patience for aggressive commerce.

eshine.

That must suck for websites that rely on JavaScript!

Do you find yourself turning it off and on again for specific sites, or do you just never run into JavaScript?

I just keep it off. Sites with actual content usually don't have that shít. Sometimes a link will be a JavaScript command which you can usually crop into an actual link.
