Their admin interface have popup advertising. If you want to edit your DNS records you have to click on « advanced DNS settings » and then you are redirected each times to an intermediate page with a popup to subscribe to some of their antimalware stuff.

I agree with this. I had to show their escalation support how to use dig to view public DNS records vs. their own internal DNS. I still have some domains with them, only because all the other registrars seem to be following the same path or have other issues I find even more repulsive. The process to become a registrar is just tedious enough to keep me from doing it.

If they did, they did so like 15 years ago, Network Solutions have been scummy for a long time.
