Console Free Or Not?

[GeorgeTH]

I prefer no-pop-up tours or only one pop-under when leaving...

I actually try to avoid sponsors who bombard the surfer with consoles; I believe in the long run all it does is teach joe-bloke-surfer not to click any paysite links in fear of a browser crash!

Recently I came across quite a number of consoles popping up despite my pop-up blocker...


I hate the fact that so many programs pay something like $10 less for sign-ups from the console-free link - only comes to show how much revenue they can shave from consoles!
I also hate if consoles cross-link to other programs, in some cases advertising sites I chose not to advertise in the first place.
