+1 to this.
It's a *notification area*. Granted there are apps which populate it that shouldn't, but how in FSM's name is the *update-notifier* as it was configured in 8,10 & previous one of them?
And popups? As has been pointed out more than once in these comments, 10 years of abusive web-design practices have taught users to kill popups & popunders as fast as possible.
They're not helpful or informative, they're either intrusive, or (for Windows users) a sign your system has (again) been compromised.
