The problem is that too many people have abused pop-ups that most
blockers block everything. That can get annoying quickly when you want
to download something and the ****ing blocker blocks your download, or
you _want_ that little calendar widget to open so you can select some
date four months from now.

That's one of the reasons I really like Opera. I can open pop-ups I
_want_, and I don't have to save a list of allowed servers.
