Well, you (as user) can use a browser with tabs. You can also use a
browser which limits or disables popups. However, I quite agree that a
page author should provide visitors the option whenever offering popups
in the first place. (-With some exceptions like small, decorative/non-
critical windows.)

Why? What's wrong with the back button? I never use such options for
the very reason that they usually render my back button ineffective with
long, unwanted history.

I agree with the general statement.
