I have the alexa toolbar installed now, and it occasionally thinks ANY link that has "_blank" as the target is a pop-up. How fucking stupid can the program be? If you do not use the 'x' button to close its dialog that pops up, you must either choose to accept all pop-ups from the domain forever, or close all pop-ups from the domain forever (and I bet it will occasionally still believe the target="_blank" are pop-ups when it is closing these). Of course, you can go into options and remove domains from either list, but WTF kind of drugs is this toolbar on? 10 million people using it (er, 10 million downloads, I mean), and it has bugs like this, enabled by default? wow...
