A few here and there don't bother me. I understand webmasters need to make money with their websites.
I use a pop up blocker + firefox. But when I had Internet Explorer, I usualy never visited sites that had pop ups.
I think they are really annoying...and dumb. everyone was taught not to click on any pop ups. I think they are pretty useless. they should find another way of advertising
pop-ups annoy me. I will close them without reading them as quickly as they open. If a site has more than 1 pop-up, I usually leave the site.
