warning, this is really annoying. imagine you're infected with a ton of adware in the early 2000s you will be logged out of many accounts here's someone testing it out on Windows a few years ago, but I assure you even in the latest chrome on mac, it's at least as bad https://youtu.be/estvbRSj4LU?si=gq6-l4pWLC9yXqap&t=109 https://youtu.be/estvbRSj4LU?si=gq6-l4pWLC9yXqap&t=109

  Why would you keep minimizing things instead of closing them? The video just looks like one of those meant to frustrate the viewer into wanting to do it themselves. I blame the creator of that video as much as the site itself. The site itself served a purpose. The person running that video has a much less clear motive

      It spawned an app outside of the browser. That's the window being minimized that I meant. I'm not an unawares person to the site's purpose. You're being a bit disingenuous with your reading of my comment

  I tried it on Safari private window. It was absolutely horrible. I hesitate to guess what would have happened if I didn't keep clicking cancel whenever it asked if I wanted to allow downloads, etc.
