Maybe not, but you could be in a bit of a bubble regarding the average website deployment method.
In my experience as a webdev most website are still very much deployed in a way that’s controllable by those who would put up such an alert.
The problem is rather political. Any organization with a website relevant enough to make such a popup worthwhile would never agree to have such a popup alienating its largest share of visitors.
Small independent sites would, but they would be pretty much preaching to the choir.
- amelius 3y agoFor large organizations, there are two ways to limit consequences for individual webdevs: 1. Get fingerprints of the browsers of your superiors (or simply use IP addresses), and don't show the popups on those browsers. 2. Let the script be hosted by a central authority (say eff.org), so they can activate it centrally and the popup appears on many websites at the same time, which will make you look less bad.
