I've never seen the pop-ups.  I browse without javascript or images.  
I'm only interested in content.

The mistake in your message is "good" portion of the web.  For those of 
us interested in content, we find nothing missing.

On those rare occasions where javascript provides useful functionality, 
and I've personally examined the page source, I turn on javascript and 
reload.  For the security conscious, javascript is unconscionable.
