Part of the confusion here may be that you don't state which sort of
pop-ups you're talking about in each case. AIUI the "popup article

ie a separate window that pops up to display an advert.

Personally, I find that these previews save a lot of time by making it
unnecessary to visit many of the article pages that I preview.
