    Back on Windows 95 through XP, each individual window was a process that could be killed in Task Manager, and popups opened in a new window.

      really? sounds like a weird span of systems considering they share so little code. i’d like to read on how they did that.

          I was fairly young, but I do remember using Windows 95 or 98 with Netscape and there were popups that had to be killed through the task manager (or equivalent, it was 30 years ago, so I don’t remember precisely).
