@corbet sometimes I wonder if we should create a browser extension with a list of websites that do shady stuff like this – which then shows a big fat "you are better than this, don't go there" warning if you accidentally try to open one. That way they would not get revenue von ads, so it might be in the interest of websites to not land on this blocklist. But well, creating that extension and motivating users to install it is quite a bit of work – and maintaining the list is a hell of controversial work. Which is why a concept like this likely won't fly, unless we really really want that to happen.
