        Ads? Privacy popups? Newsletter popups? Autoplay self-resizing videos?

        Sure, coming across a site that does all is luckily not too easy.

        At least I don’t remember it being back when I raw-dogged the web.

        Toolbars were a user choice and most weren’t rootkits, so you could disable them from a standardized browser interface or like any other app on your system.

        Can you do such a thing with the modern stuff on Chrome or vanilla Firefox?
