> How about disallow popups.

Browsers have native settings to do this.  Firefox defaults to
doing so on all sites except ones you whitelist under Options,
Allow/Block pop-ups for this site'.

If you've somehow turned off the global default, visit Tools, Options,
Content tab, then ckeck checkbox 'Block pop-up windows'.

Other browsers have similar settings.

I'm not sure I follow?

I'm glad you like that, but IMO that's about as useful as putting up a
'please do not litter' sign in places where people feel an incentive to
litter.

Gosh, if only it were that simple.
