I can remember around 1999-2000 if you clicked the wrong thing in IE you'd get 50 popup windows with ads for porn. At least that's behind us.

This still happens on dodgy football streaming sites.

Use Ublock origin as it blocks the rapid redirects

Oh I know, it doesn't affect me but just pointing out it still exists!

Find the ones that only give you 2-3 links to go through. They used to exist for the NHL atleast.

Then you also had the sites that would trap you there, every time you clicked the back button it would just reload the page.

Every single Microsoft site still does this.

I mean there are still websites that open themselves 10 times so you can't click back out of them. I am curious as to what their end game is. Do they imagine we go "well damn can't go back out of this page, might as well start living here now"

At least that's behind us.
