My Google popup blocker

Rather, to discuss the programattical reasons why popup blocking is so poorly implemented in the base web browsers. I'm still not completely sure why.


Because when most of the browsers were first coded they didn't have to worry about the issue of popups and the sort of end-to-end management of the tracking of whether a popup should our shouldn't happen is just the sort of change it is hard to graft onto a complex and spralling app.

As to why the more recently created browsers aren't better at it than they are, that is a harder question.
