You wrote to Tab "the legitimate use-case for popup windows is also reasonable, yet browsers have popup blockers." sure, but this functionality was not removed, etc... I can imagine no DOM/browsing context manipulation (even new browsing context) by default, only on opt in (but when the optin? before the beforeunload :) ?) But disabling it altogethe, because someone may alert "Do you really want to exit this page?"? Brona
