This is a good article but that modal popup for the newsletter has to go.

  I surf the internet with Firefox's NoScript plugin. I haven't seen a modal popup in years.

    You are almost certainly seeing increasing numbers of CSS flyover, pop-up, modal, and other tricks, however. I've been tweaking my default CSS to kill those, though with considerable collateral damage. Hint to Web designers: do not use any of those names for elements you actually want people to see. And don't hide stuff under legit-sounding elements either.

  Absolutely. I refuse to read pages with this crap.

  People wouldn't use 'em if they didn't work. I bet it would work better if I had a chance to actually view the content first -- who signs up for a newsletter when they don't know what sort of stuff is in it?

  Javascript disabled by default on Chrome and I have no such problems.
