> There is no way to reliably block pop-ups in the general case.

Not sure if I'm misunderstanding the intent of this sentence, but I have not seen a popup in my web browsers for ... so long I can't remember the last time it happened? Years certainly, maybe double-digit years.



It is trivial to block "window.open". It is not trivial to block a pop-up div that obscures content, as shown multiple times in the article.
