Another one is the "can I help you" chat box that pops up. Intercom and the likes.

Thinking about making a Chrome plugin that intentionally asks some nonsense questions programmatically in the background to waste their time and disincentivize that behavior.

(To be clear, I love having chat channels for sales and support, just NOT unsolicited "Can I help you" popups.)
