Wait until you come across a website that pops up a little window asking you to “subscribe”, and if you click not to they automatically send you to another section where you are forcibly shown how much it will ‘benefit’ you to subscribe -and if you attempt to close the window, you will get an annoying little popup that states:
“It seems (such-and-such website) has detected that you wish to leave this site. Are you certain you wish to do so?”
“Are you really sure?”
“Really, really sure? Because it would be so wonderful if you stayed here and browsed more... Would you like to subscribe to our email list?”
“No, really, you would like it very much!”
Etcetera...

None of this is possible without JavaScript.
I'm getting truly sick of the ones that OVERLAY a part of whatever I want to read, and won't go away even when you acknowledge and dismiss them.
I certainly recognize that the content pages have to be paid for, fine, I'll acknowledge their ad, but then it should GO THE HELL AWAY.
And this isn't just on Windows -- the same thing happens on my Linux box, and occasionally on my Mac, and eventually I have to just give up because the damned ad won't let me read the content -- so I stop going to that site.
And they lose me entirely as a visitor. A fat lot of good their "ad" did for them.
