the stuff that I can't stand is the fucking spawn windows that get minimized and are uncloseable by any method short of the taskman or a reboot, the crap that takes over your screen at max size with not so much as a border to grab, the endless popup chaining, the fuckin' bookmark pop screen, and crappy fucking Frontpage fade effects on page transitions.
Aside from that, almost anything that better enhances the experience for the surfer is okay by me. If someone maximizes my window for me, great... I was going to do it anyway. But leave the controls there. I think a far more irritating practice would be to pop windows trying to sell me on some crap I don't want if I don't join the site. If I don't join and close the window, there's no reason to jam 9 more pop windows trying to sell me on fat bitches or trannys or some fag site.... I closed the window.... I don't want any. Go away. This is the message the surfer would like to express. But harmless stuff like maximizing a window shouldn't even be a concern. It's harmless. The only reason it IS a concern (like you said, it gives the impression of a popup) is because dipshits have abused the popup idea to fuckin' death. And now everyone is scared shitless of them. I don't click 90% of the links posted here because I KNOW there's gonna be a freakin' ass-train of crap following it.
