Would love to see a "pop-up" blocking feature like I keep seeing advertised on TV by Earthlink.

That requires a proxy that analyzes the web content and determines whether a popup is legitimate - in response to a user choice - or just part of some script to fill the screen with popups.
This is a bit intrusive. The user can easily add this type of software if they want to stop popups. I use "freesurfer" which is free and seems to do an effective job.

BannerFilter is a redirect script for the Squid proxy server, designed to
block advertising banners on the Web. Unlike most other solutions, it also
automatically closes popup windows.
