    Don't know which is more evil but Pop-ups are definetly more annoying.

    I use google bar which takes care all of the pop ups so I dont have any problems with pop ups anymore. Spam is definitely annoying. I get about 300-400 spam emails a day on one of my outlook email addresses. Annoys the hell out of me!

    ah no... goto http://www.itv-f1.com and you'll be amazed at how much pop ups get through firefox. I have the 'adblock' add-on installed iswell but its no good

    didn't get one. You can't count links that have 'open win' in them :S i mean you click for that your requesting the page. Be a bit **** if those were blocked too, wouldn't be able to view sites in firefox. I'd like a middle click that worked on them tho, for sites like hotmail that have started using it.

    Since you can block pop-ups => spam is more evil

    But I do hate flash - most of the time it's a waste of bandwidth.

    flashClick here to play
