What does Pop-up Blocker do?
Pop-up Blocker blocks most unwanted pop-up windows from appearing. Pop-up windows that are opened when the end user clicks a link will not be blocked.
End users and IT administrators can let specific domains open programmatic pop-up windows. Developers will be able to use or extend the pop-up functionality in Internet Explorer for applications hosting Internet Explorer.
Who does this feature apply to?
For most end users, browsing the Web will be less annoying, because unwanted pop-up windows will not automatically appear.
For Web developers, Pop-up Blocker affects the behavior of windows opened by Web sites, for example, by using the window.open() and showHelp() methods
