When opening the link, it popped up something I didn’t even get to see because it created crashed my browser.

I returned to the post and commented "Jesus, the pop-up on that site is brutal " that’s it, that’s the exact quote because I use an app that stores things from specific sources that are typed in

For being annoying.

Because the mod didn’t like their link being criticised.

I ain’t even mad, I’m just amazed to see a PTB in the wild like that.

    Clicked out of curiosity but no pop up here. Highly recommend uBlock Origin OP, and possibly a DNS solution like NextDNS/Adguard/PiHole. Would solve this problem.

    it appears substackcdn.com is the offending domain, uBlock filters the pop up even without it being fully blocked.
