    If you're already annoying, why not push further? So state the marching orders of travel site Orbitz. These "kick through" pop-up/under ads toss you to a site merely by mousing over the window, and it is EXTREMELY irritating. Orbitz joins X10 as the worst of the worst when it comes to Internet advertising, though this list doesn't even touch the steaming pile of spyware cretins. (Story here)

    :m: Peace.

    I am one of the many that has turned to a browser that filters pop-ups and internet browsing is much more enjoyable. coupled with a firewall that blocks banners= life is good.

    Email is already becoming unusable, soon many web pages will also become unusable.

    I can't recommend a pop-up stopper enough. I wouldn't be able to survive browsing without one!
