overused flash and popups - i just hate them

Filed under: internet

There are a lot of web sites lately which extremely annoy me. Those overuse flash and use popup windows. I’ll start with the second item:
I want to decide whether i want the link in another window, tab, etc. Why the hell you decide it for me? Firefox has popup blocking abilities and i lately find myself leaving the site which tries to open popups instead of letting firefox open it.
And now to the first. Flash is ok for a photographer’s, painter’s or designer’s site. But a site which intended to be used should avoid it. Why a user must see annoying animation before using the site? A bookmark cannot be done inside full-flash site - why should the user tolerate this?
I’m certainly not the first to say this, i was just too annoyed by next flash site.
