Default Another web site annoyance

On 10 May 2019 16:38:07 GMT, KenK wrote:

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.

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

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

TIA


I think if you delete the NYT cookies, they can't see how many times
you were there. I have my browser set up to delete all cookies on the
close with a very few exceptions. Most cookies are just ad bait
anyway.
