      Forcing these popups in our faces was punishment for fighting back during the battle for the internet. We lost, and the elites shoved insulting disruptive messages in our faces to remind us of our failure every time we browse. I was so disappointed.

        Really? That was when I getting into web dev and IE got dynamic HTML, but I don’t remember the cookie thing. I thought it was after German laws started requiring user approval. Long time ago. Come to think of it, Win98 was right about when the dominant influence at MS transitioned from geeks to accountants.
