They're not modifying the DOM. They're loading ads from external sources which then pop into the page. I hate this too but a good adblocker solves this for 95%.

I had a discussion with a website developer recently asking why they insist on loading all these ads from external URLs. All the different loading times cause this. But he said the ad provider needs this in order to validate someone looked at the ads, they don't take the web owner's word for it.
So blame the ad industry, not the website :)
- asxd 5y agoTo get a little pedantic, the DOM changes in that the size of some element gets modified after the page loads, causing other elements to shift around visually. I can empathize with the developers, but I would prefer if they sized out those elements in advance so the page elements didn't get shifted all over the place once something loads.
