That hackser.io popup only appeared a few months ago. I can't see how it is doing anything except alienating anyone who visits the site. I've tried to filter it out with uBlock Origin, but so far haven't been successful. :(

Sad fact: Benny Hill died penniless in a shabby council flat, his body wasn't found until two weeks after he died. Naff or otherwise, no-one should go like that. :(
