Pop Ups & The Giants
Sunday March 27, 2005
It used to be, a long time ago, that you could count on the big news outlets (such as CNN, MSNBC, etc) to be clean and nice. And by that I mean no popups, nothing that I would have to click to get rid of. Now? I went to MSNBC this morning to watch the news video clips, I saw one popup as I changed to the SciTech section, and then as I closed out the IE window for MSNBC itself, I saw a full screen ad popup. This is one of the reasons I use Firefox, it blocks all those. But it’s not really the browser’s fault, it’s the greedy media house itself - like they don’t already make enough money, they have to resort to popups, which pretty much everyone universally hates.
