New issue 6363 by [email protected]: Popup blocker  
whitelisting/heuristic improvements
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6363

On at least some sites, our popup blocker makes it painful to use the site,
because we don't or can't catch "user-initiated" popups as such.  It's not
yet clear whether we'd need better heuristics, some sort of
whitelisting/granular control, or what, so before designing a solution, I'm
simply collecting example sites where Chrome is painful right now.

* Visit http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/index?bhcp=1 and click in the
page's upper navigation bar where it says "map".  This causes a navigation
to a new HTML page which auto-opens a popup and then does history.go(-1);.
The best heuristic I could think of for this is "allow onload popups for
pages loaded by a user-gesture, whose origin page was within the same
site".  erg thinks this is still pretty exploitable.

* Visit http://www.in2art.com/art-supplies/sharpie-markers and click on one
of the products.  Not sure exactly why the resulting popup gets blocked.
