Default Another web site annoyance

I notice recently that a window appears shortly after some web sites load,
blocking the site's contants, with no exit 'X' in the upper right. Usually
getting you to sign up for something or other with your email address. Like
you don't already receive enough spem! is there any way to make these go
away without signing up? Probably not.


I know what you mean. These sites should give us stuff for free, no
questions asked, just because we are seniors.

Some news sites, like New York Times, are now limiting the number of visits
to three or using the above blocking window. sigh


I also have not learned how to clear cookies and site data. We seniors
should not have to learn new tricks.

Getting so I'll have to find a replacement of some sort for much of my
internet usage. Is nothing sacred? g


I held up all my seniors discount cards for the webcam to see, and still
nothing happened. I may have to go back to spending all day drinking
one bottomless cup of coffee and watching the world pass by.
