I hate, dislike, abhor, abominate, allergic to, anathematize, be loath, be reluctant, be sorry, can't stand, contemn, curse, deprecate, deride, despise, detest, disapprove, disdain, disfavor, dislike, disparage, down on, execrate, loathe, nauseate, object to, recoil from, scorn, shudder at, shun, spit upon, spurn …… pop-up windows…If I click on a link, I want to go to that link in the current window… I do not under circumstances ever ever want to have a new window open and the link load in that. It is the one of the few things that makes me want to slam my mouse into my monitor. If you are a developer and you have have links like this "target = 'whatever' ", and you don't have any real reason for it..STOP DOING IT. The only times I see this as forgivable is if the  pop-up serves a purpose that could not/would not be suitable to have in the main window .. pop-up calendar for instance. That's my ranting for today 😉
