You can't meaningfully just ask someone, "Do you like popups?" It's
bound to depend on a number of factors, for example:
- Are you talking about adverts, parts of the website's user interface
or something else?
- Do they appear automatically on page load, when the user follows a
link or in some other circumstance?
- Does the website still work if a popup blocker is installed?
- Do the links still work if JavaScript is disabled?
- Do the links still work if the user selects the Open in New Window/Tab
command?
