I use the google toolbar which blocks popups for IE (and gives me quick access to a google search dialog … and highlights text in a page… and has page rank… and allows going up a directory in sites… its bliss =) )

Wow, so microsoft actually want to help us !?  
i bet the new IE will be set-up so that we’ll get an endless stream of ads that are made by companies in connection or with microsoft.
