One thing I hate is people mandating how I work. Micro-managers are the worst but so too web designers who insist that their page is so important that it must be seen a) full screen and b) in a window of its own. Nah! No way. I know how I want to use the web and neither of your approaches are in there.

No page is so important that it needs to full. Even my own page(s) are not so vital that all the screen real estate must be given over to the content.

I want your page in a tab, not a window but a tab. There are some sites, which I won't name, where the web master insists that all links are opened via a script. Nah! If needs be I'll hack the URL (Firebug is a good thing) and get that content in a tab.

Let's get it clear. The browser on my machine is well on my machine. I'll control it thank you very much.

Anything else is intrusive. It's up there with expecting me to answer the phone because it's convenient to you. Well it ain't convenient for me.
