It’s by design and it’s a fucked up practice.

Oh, I forgot those were a thing. Ad blocking DNS does wonders

Luckily my adblocker catches those, but recently I’ve been really annoyed by popups on my phone opening in a new window. Like if an image hosting site says “click here to view the image”, you know theres a layer across the whole page that will trigger and send you to a new window. Even though the adblocker blocks the new page, it takes several presses to get back.

Just such a waste of lifespan over nothing.

You guys are getting ads for apps?
