There are many examples where users are now being inundated with pop-up messages asking them to respond to things they don't know about or don't understand, and it leads to weaker security overall.

We should develop more 'engineered' ways of dealing with this issue. Both the Firefox delay, Firefox default no warnings and IE default continue warnings all have flaws.
Importantly we must reduce the number of distinct pop-ups, and also the number of actual questions asked in all software.
I quite honestly have no idea how best to manage it, Although The Alpha Firefox 2.0 seems to try.
