It really is astonishing how bad it's gotten - fully the equal of the
early '00s when sites might just spawn a dozen pop-ups and only one of
the major browsers let you block them, only now there's a pile of JS
mining crypto in the background, to boot :/ Been running with NoScript
and an ad-blocker as my standard configuration for many, many years
now, but it's always sobering to get a look at what other people see...
