George at 90% Crud is evil in a good way. He proposes a Firefox extension that automatically clicks through pop-ups, without actually showing them, to eventually discourage the use of pop-ups:
On the server side it would look exactly like someone had clicked the ad and was checking out whatever geriatric porn they were advertising, on the browser it would look like there was no pop-up. Once the plugin got popular enough, the advertisers would find out that people were automatically clicking their ads - costing them money - and would raise holy hell.
I like it!
