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?
Never thought I’d miss frames. Though really, I always why exactly why they got dogpiled into nonexistence. Formatting issues?
Security nightmare as well
I imagine coding frames so that they worked well on both desktop and mobile would be a major pain in the ass.
They died well before mobile formatting was a concern. I suppose other aspect ratios were getting more popular then. That and the security issues the other poster mentioned probably contributed.
