I develop web-based enterprise applications and for years have relied on multiple windows to allow for greater focus and separation of tasks. But I now wonder if blockers are being used to any great extent within the workplace, so that such legitamate uses of “pop-ups” would be in jeopardy.
I know that part of the solution could be solved by simply instructing customers to turn off blockers to use the application. Just as we do to specify the browser version requirements of our products, and the need to allow client-side scripting. But I fear such blanket requirements regarding blockers might strike a nerve.
Are these things used to any great degree, or are they used more sporadically, based on personal use/habits?
