We've tried that, and it breaks legitimate sites. :( So right now click events (unlike most events that allow limited numbers of popups) are explicitly not limited in terms of number of popups they can open, since the assumption is that the user explicitly asked for the operation by clicking... and that if they don't like the result they just won't visit that site again.

but it will be great if number of popup is limited or if u prompt user to prevent additional pop-ups
