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?

I set 2 different people up with revanced over the weekend. I thought I'd typed in the wrong URL because I'm on Firefox mobile and both of them are on Chrome mobile. Literally looks like an entirely different site. On Chrome it's got a big fancy logo at the top, ads....fucking....everywhere...
On Firefox(with various blockers and anti trackers etc etc) it's a plain white page with a bold title and small blurb then links to the various apks. Took me a minute to even figure out where the link for the manager was.....

Might be better to install it through Obtanium by adding this link https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager
