Opinari.net
Opinari - Latin term for Opinion. Opinari.net is just what it seems: a cornucopia of rants, raves and poignant soliloquy. |

Good news. Microsoft has decided to implement a long-awaited feature to allow users to disable popup ads.
Crucially, the question over whether the pop-up blocking will be turned on by default has remained unanswered by Microsoft, which said only that it plans to include the feature, and will gather user feedback before announcing further details. A default "on" setting would almost certainly kill pop-up advertising on the Web, since almost all pop-ups are un-requested by users.
This is certainly going to be a topic of debate as the new IE is rolled out. Personally, I would think that, in order to avoid litigation, Microsoft would simply make the default setting "off". But, we'll see.
