Can someone explain to me the attraction that sites that should know better (like banks) use pop-ups for encapsulating downloads.

End-users that aren’t paying close attention don't see the pop-up blocked alerts in the navigation bar and are completely perplexed as to what happened.

Mentioning this because I have dealt with 3 instances of this in the last week with people reasonably proficient in using their computers for what they need their computer to do.

@erik Pop-ups should be considered an anti-pattern, to be honest. It's either incompetence, or ignorance.

@sindarina 💯 I just wish that this stuff wasn’t so prevalent in financial services where things should be as simple and clear as possible

@erik The two banks I deal with here seem to be quite good about it, for what it's worth.

One of them is a bit too fond of doing A/B testing badly, though 😂
