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.

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.
