    WinXP SP2 to integrate popup blocker plus "Window Restrictions"

    By default this feature blocks all pop-ups from any site when activated. However you can choose sites whose pop-ups you wish not to block (why on God's green earth I don't know). Adding sites is simple and does not induce brain damage. You also have the option of having a sound play when a pop-up occurs, even if you have chosen to block it.




    And here's something of great interest that I'm sure many of you will be glad to hear about: Internet Explorer Window Restrictions. Basically this blocks most websites that use code to resize your Internet Explorer window. Over the years I have found this to be a nescience.

    What does Window Restrictions do?
    Internet Explorer provides the capability for scripts to programmatically open additional windows of various types, and to resize and reposition existing windows. The Window Restrictions security feature, formerly called UI Spoofing Mitigation, restricts two types of script-initiated windows that have been used by malicious persons to deceive users: popup windows (which do not have components such as the address bar, title bar, status bar, and toolbars) and windows that include the title bar and status bar.

                              Why? Bill isn't the richest guy in the world for being stupid...he never did anything original and look where it got him.

                                  If I'm understanding this correctly, it sounds like bad news for the exit brokers of the world.
                                  Arguing whether the Democratic or Republican party is better is like debating which steaming pile of shit is slightly less stinky.

                                      Platinum Bucks already has a no pop up feature for all our sites.

                                      We've been expecting this for quite sometime.

                                          of course, and I am surprised that there is no more responses to these news, since it'll hit many program's wallets.

                                              No, what you kids don't understand is that it will hit webmasters in the wallet not program operators.

                                              But you keep on cheering.

                                                  doesn't one thing follow the other? Programs will make less, and so will affiliates.

                                                      why would programs make less when you can simply pass the loss onto the affiliates?

                                                          They already do it in some cases (for console-free sites that is).

                                                          I don't know what the ratios for exit/console sales are. Enlighten me.


                                                          But you're right, the affliate will certainly suffer more.

A thread where a girl shows off her tits gets more attention. I guess webmasters are happy with making less

I think it will make the sponsors rethink their strategies concerning pop ups...I wouldn't be surprised tho, if this will push the flashcash overlay in the porn industry.
