I fault not the webmasters as much as the program that lets them get away with it. It's my fucking program on my fucking computer so it should do what I want it to, not anyone else.
I installed Mozilla RC1 a couple weeks ago. It installed icons all over the fucking place.. AOL, Net2Phone, all kinds of shit were all over my system tray, Quick Launch, top of the Start Menu, Programs under the Start Menu, my quick-link IE toolbar, my IE Favorites, my desktop.. every goddamned place they could think of. Not once did it ever ask if I wanted any fucking icons.
But as pissed as I am at that kinda shitty programming, I'm just as pissed at Windows for letting programs get away with this crap. Creating an icon should be some sorta system call where you can specify that a program doesn't have the right to create icons unless you say it can. Ditto for changing file associations.
It is heartening, however, to hear that Mozilla allows preventing popup/under ads, sites maximizing themselves, etc. Maybe it's worth another try after all.
