Not wrong.

Most browsers included a popup blocker because everyone agreed popups are annoying, now nearly every website has 3 different JS popups.

honestly, I still feel like that is a win for users. pop-ups that are modals on a site is not anywhere close to open application windows, especially the pop-unders. to me, opening another application window on my system is much more abhorrent than a site deciding it wants my attention somewhere else on its site.
