Video playing, ad that scrolls, two lines of a story, the bottom popping up with notifications every few minutes over the top of more scrolling ads.

Yay internet.

Edit: Oh wow! Did not expect so many responses. First let me say, thank you for taking the time to read and respond! To address the biggest response to use Firefox I actually have it on my phone it’s just remembering to break the habit. This was more to show what an average user who just uses what they’re used to experiences on mobile browsing.

        I mean it’s technically true that it’s javascript allows for this. But it’s also true that your OS kernel allows this to happen too.

        I think it’s best to keep it simple and just blame whoever owns the site that decides it would be a good idea to do these things. Because they could just decide not to add some JS code to display shit like this.
