DON'T POP A NEWSLETTER FORM OVER THE TEXT I AM TRYING TO READ.
I'm sure this is an interesting article but the only way we will stop this practice is if we stop giving user-hostile publications our eyeballs.

- ccvannorman 10y agoMine didn't work on this site. Most newsletter popups are home grown and adblockers don't work on them. I just ignore them and try not to visit the site again if possible. (well done marketing geniuses! Was that your goal?)
- UlyssesSKrunk 10y agoabp didn't block this one. ublock may have tho, but in my experience even that lets through many of these by default
- dredmorbius 10y agoOptions are limited on Mobile. But, pre-warned, I'll open this in Pocket, which avoids this. If Firefox had an "open directly to Reader Mode" I'd use that virtually always.
- pwg 10y ago> DON'T POP A NEWSLETTER FORM OVER THE TEXT I AM TRYING TO READ. I'm running NoScript in default deny all JS here - I read the whole article without ever realizing there was a "newsletter form" until after I saw your comment above.
- smoe 10y agoWebsites behaviour like this led me to use toggles for js and images which are disabled by default. If a click on a link of an article, I might actually want to read the article and not having stuff pop in my face or the content jumping around when the stock photo in the header has finally loaded.
