Good thing we replaced those annoying Flash banners with javascript </irony>
Old guys like me saw this coming from miles away, it's just history repeating itself.
To give you all a heads-up: in the future browsers will ask you "This site wants to open a new javascript dialog. Show/block"
- drdaeman 10y agoOf course, not that simple. In the future, every other website will ship their own rendering engine (from some big CDN, of course) that prohibits you from messing with their precious spam. Heck, I honestly do expect some startups doing just this kind of "innovation" as soon as WebAssembly gets slightly more polished and cross-browser, so probably just another year or two from now. (That shit will be fought with AI/ML nextgen ad-blockers, that would try to "see" what that positioned <div> is - a spammy modal or some legit navigation sidebar... and I don't dare to think any further, as we approach the singularity.)
