I can remember around 1999-2000 if you clicked the wrong thing in IE you'd get 50 popup windows with ads for porn. At least that's behind us.
This still happens on dodgy football streaming sites.

Oh I know, it doesn't affect me but just pointing out it still exists!
Find the ones that only give you 2-3 links to go through. They used to exist for the NHL atleast.

<script> function openNewWindow() {
window.open("https://this.site.com", "_blank"); newWindow.moveTo(0, 0); newWindow.resizeTo(screen.width, screen.height); } window.onbeforeunload = function() { openNewWindow(); };</script>
