I happened to click a link that took me to the associated ~~twitter~~ X account for something I was interested in and was greeted by not one, not two, but four modern day web popups.

I know it's nothing new. I've got a couple of firefox plugins that are usually quite good at hiding this sort of nonsense, but I guess they failed me today (or, I shudder to think, there were even more that were blocked, and this is what got through)

What's the worst new/not-signed-in user experience you've encountered recently?

uBlock with "Cookie Notices" and "Annoyances" ticked on. Filter lists tab.

instagram's login pop-ups will appear if you have seen like 12 posts of a user. that's really annoying. if you are on mobile and open instagram on the browser and then log in, instagram still asks you to log in. how weird!

Reminds me of screenshots of internet explorer with 20 search bar addons from the 2000s 🤣

It's actually a pretty tasty coffee.
