The thing that annoys me the most are things that move. If I'm reading something, and something else elsewhere on the page is moving, then that automatically draws my attention. This is very distracting! I understand that advertisers are doing this, but why on earth would anyone put such things on their own site, other than the ads? Here's an example of the sort of mind-boggling stupidity that I'm talking about:

In the old days, you could just disable animated GIFs and the problem would be solved. Then came Flash, which was also easy enough to disable. But now with Javascript, it's harder. I'm using NoScript, which gets rid of the annoying stuff, but often the websites don't look right.

This can be JS like some annoying ad that pushes the page content down until it is acknowledged and closed OR the worst offender is when on mobile I click something and somewhere in between my physical click and when the click event is actually executed in the browser some additional asset or visual element loads and now I end up clicking on something entirely unintentional.
