Maybe it’s just me and my old IPhone 12 Mini, but I really find it annoying when browsing to something called Coding Font to immediately face a popup with no “close” button that shows me a big unrelated ad at the same time as promoting an app I have no reason to believe I might even want to look at. What’s even more annoying is then having to only discover that it’s the greyed out (seemingly inactive) top margin that will close the damn thing, rather than pop open the ad’s link, an auto playing YouTube video, or whatever the help ProductHunt is used for.

Before seeing the actual content I’m presented 3 ways to bounce to another domain, and no obvious way to actually see the content.

Oh, and it’s back on every refresh.
