As a rule, I open sites I’ve never been to in a new tab, with my hand hovering over the Cmd and W keys. The moment I get an popup of any kind that obscures content offering me to sign up for a mailing list or offer me some bullshit coupon, my fingers come down and I close the tab. I really hope the A/B tests actually show a bounce here, but I doubt it because I’m actually closing the tab, not using the back button (too many sites hijack it) and I’m not sure they can detect that I’ve left. I also do it so quickly now that they probably don’t even get the signal that I saw the popup either. Site owners: please stop doing this. You’re turning the web into a cesspit. You’re part of the problem.
