At the absolute very least every single web browser should have the ability to ask:
* if you want to allow the pop-up
* if you want to allow a site to open a new window/tab
* if you want to allow a site to open a new pop-under window
This really shouldn't require special Greasemonkey scripts, block lists or commercial extensions. 99% of the time the user does not want that pop-up/pop-under/modal dialogue.
I'm starting to think that developers at almost all browsers are bribed by advertisers to allow these dark patterns.
