It feels like the Internet is back to where it was in the 90s where you had malicious popup windows all over the place. I remember when browsers started adding popup blocking as a core feature, and also adblockers became a thing thanks to Firefox's extensions.
Now the difference is that the popups are within the page, rather than opening a new browser window. Since the browser has slowly become the window through which we do everything on computers, moving the popups inside the window pane makes sense.
The adblockers will catch up (I hope), but in the meantime I just avoid websites that are known to suck (which is nearly all mainstream sites these days).
