I haven't read GFY in a few days, so maybe this was already mentioned. But, I signed up for AOL's beta testing a long time ago (even though I don't actually test anything) just to see what new and exciting things they'd be releasing soon. Today I got this....

Curious testers,

As the AOL version 8.0 GM Refresh test ends, the Beta Team wants to put your beta skills to the test. Web Pop-Up Controls is a new Beta test designed specifically for those of you who like to browse the Internet. These controls are designed to work as you surf the Web within AOL and prevent many Pop-Ups and Pop-Unders from interrupting your browsing experience. Unlike many similar available products, AOL's Web Pop-Up Controls are designed to suppress unwanted Pop-Ups, but will not interfere with your use of the many secure sites out there that utilize screens that look like Pop-Ups as part of their log-in or user experience.

This test is as simple as it sounds: Go to Keyword: Beta and click the link for the Web Pop-Up Controls test, download the software, then browse all your favorite Web sites virtually pop-up free. The Beta area contains the testing instructions and answers to questions.

Remember: You can, as a beta tester have multiple copies of Beta software installed on your systems. Everyone currently involved with the GM Refresh test should also download the software and put their Web browsing experience to the test.

Please be sure to report any problems you encounter by filing a Bug Report from the Web Pop-Up Control test area.

Thank you for your valuable testing efforts. We know you will enjoy testing this great new feature!

- Your Beta Team

I for one love the idea of ISP's helping to take out popups. Now that AOL and Earthlink are doing it/going to be doing it, then everyone else will have to also. Even from a business end it'll be better for most of us. Surfers on such ISP's won't have to worry about getting stuck in popup hell if they click a link. I'd think that could create more active surfers.
