So today I went to a recipe site that was pushed to me by Firefox. It was about how to dry brine a turkey which my husband was thinking of doing for Thanksgiving, so, you know, normal article to be pushed on me this time of year. I tried to read the article and I was immediately swarmed with ads, leaving even my proper laptop screen little space to read, and then. Then. An ad popped up in the middle of my screen. Right in the middle. An ad I could not click to close, right in the middle of the screen, right in the middle of the text, there was no way to move it. It left me able to leave like one line of text on the whole friggin laptop screen. I thought this had to be some kind of mistake so I refreshed the page, and the ad went from a square in the middle of the screen had expanded to a full stripe in the middle of the page, making the entire text unreadable, with no way to close this ad, no way to wait for the ad to finish, it just made the entire article unreadable.

I am done with the internet. Throw the whole thing out.
