For the past 2 or 3 years i saw commercials of kayak on tv. Everytime I'd be price shopping, I'd start with their website. It never worked. I couldn't understand why they would advertise on tv and then have a broken website.
You know that page where it says it is doing the price comparison in the background? That's where it always stopped for me. Frozen, never updating.
Last month, I was travelling again and went to kayak just to check. I get to that page and it's frozen again. But this time i notice the little red X on the top right corner of the browser.
> Popup blocked
I went to the next website of course, but it makes me wonder. How much money have they lost because they decided to use pop-ups for no good reasons?
- untog 9y agoThere's a principle that I try to apply in situations like this: giving other developers some credit. By which, I mean that if every Kayak search was frozen, for every user, I believe that the developers over there would have caught that and fixed it. If a meaningful number of people were experiencing freeze errors, I also expect they would have caught it. Is it possible the problem is your browser setup, and this is not an experience other people have?
