You're reading the page for 5, maybe 10 seconds, THEN a popup appears asking you to join the news letter or accept cookies or whatever the fuck else.
thats not web design thats web content.For me its when they promise that I'll be "shocked at #7" and I never am.

I use ublock origin.
THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST!Yup, that's pretty annoying. I'd also nominate the "video I wasn't watching hops down the page as I scroll" 'feature'.
The boys in marketing, I would suppose.THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST!
Who thought that making a video that I didn't want to watch cover up the content that I did want to read was a good idea?!
This website would like to know your location!
This website would like to send you notifications!
GIVE US YOUR EMAIL FOR 10% OFF!
Pretty shitty state of affairs, yeah.
I miss early 2000's web design. It was simple and got the job done.
Yeah, I don't understand how or why anyone, anywhere thought that would be a good feature to add...Gmail's spam filter is so effective these days I'm no longer really bothered by this one.
If some idiot company wants to waste their resources sending a zillion
junk-emails to my spam folder in exchange for a discount I say have at it! (not like I'll ever even look at any of them)
And does ANYONE EVER say "yes" to notifications on PC ?!?
I think that's mostly fallout from GDPR.I really wonder what's the point of the cookie acceptance notice. I suppose it's to prevent a lawsuit in case something happens because I somehow doubt they just get wiped if you say no.
I let the ads run here so it can keep it running. HFBoards though, the ads gobble up so much memory I shut down the ads with adblock.
I am shocked, I say shocked, to discover that you read news articles from FB.Or articles that require you to keep clicking "next" to get like 2 sentences at a time. WTF is up with that crap? Have not run into that in a while though.
The biggest mistake is clicking on news articles that show up on FB, they seem to favour the most shittiest site designs.
I absolutely love Adblock.Current versions of Adblock Plus also take care of this issue.
*(I suggest referring to one of the several threads on the topic "browser ad-blockers" to go over the pros and cons of different options)
How about the "Answer these survey-questions to view content" after the first couple of paragraphs with the rest of the article "greyed out" till you do some garbage "survey"??
*(all the above does is earn your craptastic website a "hide all content" flag on Google just like that "last free article" bull$hit)
My wife won't let me near her without safe access pulled down over my router.I absolutely love Adblock.
In addition, I have a router that supports Safe Access, which I think is a google function, and I have it set to block advertising. Between Adblock and Safe Access, virtually nothing makes it to my browser.
Additionally, Safe Access works for all devices connected to my router. I have a couple of games on my phone, that are virtually unplayable if I'm on 4G because of all the nagging, and forcing me to watch a 30-second video I can't skip or shutoff.
