You scroll down a bit, an obnoxious overlay jumps out "GET THE BEST TIPS IN YOUR EMAIL" ... with an even more obnoxious cancel button "No I'm dumb and don't want the best tips in my email".
Then as you attempt to exit the tab the "exit intent" crap kicks in "NOOOO don't go!".
Sometimes I miss the days when no one cared about the internet.

Though, apart from Ajax, HTML5 lacks a simple way to compose markup at the browser side, thereby avoiding full page reloads, like SGML had over 30 years ago ([2]). HTML imports are basically dead, and weren't great or widely used to begin with ([1]).
