I get the internet. Youtube tv will be cancelled now that Trump’s first 100 days are soon over as well as the NFL Draft.
The draft has become such an extravaganza I can’t stand it. The picks ‘are in’ but they still have to hold up the announcements for some woke messages first. Think of all the windows you have to close before reading any article on the internet. I guess the younger consumers don’t mind.
Aside from the page-associated occasional pop-up -- subscribe and the like, which disappear by clicking elsewhere on a page -- we're not experiencing what you seem to. I use Brave, mostly, though I have several other browsers in order to test web pages I make. In a similar manner, I use multiple search engines, "depending on."
All are set to "bank" and empty home pages, such that "recommendations" simply do not appear. Operating some small sites, I am amused to find coders trying all sorts of tricks to gain "eyes on."
Ever notice that some pop-ups place a boxed X cancel only after a few seconds? It is assured that more new tricks are on the way, because we are their "access," their data and their marks. Be skeptical and cautious, that's good advice. Best wishes.
