Javascript allows us to make the user

I don't think this statement stands on its own. I fail to see how
an annoying popup window is "better" than having the information
presented inside the browser tab/window that I (the user) have
specifically put aside for this purpose.
Precisely. When I suggested further up the thread that we ask the user
to choose to open a new browser window by voluntarily using the
browser's *user* interface, the reply was something to the effect of; "I
don't see how we can automate the user's hand and make him/her do that
without some form of scripting"! Surely people know whether they want
to keep one window open and open another, without java to do the
thinking for them!
Then again, I may not be a typical Freenet user. I turn off
Javascript in my web browers, completely, as my normal state of
operation.
Or, on the other hand, I might be well within the norm for the
Freenet user population. We are, after all, a cantankerous, paranoid
bunch. I'm sure I'm not the only Javascript hater in Freenetland.
