When I went to the site, I got a fairly insidious takeover ad: The ad took over the whole page, displaying a 10-second countdown timer and a "Click Here to go to site" link. The "Click Here…" link triggered another pop-up ad (it never took me to the site), and when the timer expired, nothing happened. The URL bar had been changed, so reloading wouldn't help, and the back button took me to a blank screen.
Therefore, I present an outline.com link for the article: https://www.outline.com/cUUPVn https://www.outline.com/cUUPVn

- sliken 9y agoNever seen anything like that. Ads, sure, but nothing that obnoxious. I suspect any ad network has the occasional mistake, but generally anandtech is pretty good.
