This question really bothers me as well. I remember the time when designers came in and taught developers not to use pop ups, because pop up annoy and scare users.

I prefer browsing the web using uBlock Origin just to get rid of all the bloat. However there are several sites that are not compatible. And I’m pretty much directly closing the browser tab.

I wonder, whether it’s just me staying away from sites that annoy me to hell, because all the sites still use such pop ups. Following I wonder, whether site maintainers use all the analytics crap tools anyway. I mean, all the pop ups must have some sort of impact? Honest question: are there any site maintainers analyzing there logs and might answer my questions?
