Four popups and overlays in 15 seconds. What a trash website.
- efa 7y agoIronic, given the subject of the article.
- izzydata 7y agoIt further helps demonstrate the point even if unintentional.

- daedalus_j 7y agoAt least you could see the popups. I default open things in an incognito window, and it won't even load if you're in incognito, just shows you a big banner shaming you for using incognito mode and asking you to log in. It'd be kinda cool if HN had reddit-like flairs for stories so you could tag them as "no-incognito" or "soft-paywall" so you knew what not to bother clicking on.
- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoJust disable javascript. Media sites are too broken these days to take a risk on their code any way. The LA Times devs have done a good job keeping the fallback readable.
- daedalus_j 7y agoReally good hint, didn't think to try that. Toggling javascript off for that site in uBlock Origin should make future clicking on links to it a much happier experience, thanks!
- bArray 7y agoSite appears to work perfectly with JS disabled entirely (IMO, as the web should be).
- auiya 7y agoReader mode is perfect for sites such as this.
- whamlastxmas 7y agoMy preferred solution is just closing the tab and moving on.
