If I go to a page and get a popup ad, I close the page and don't go back. Of course, that covers a lot of sites. I was reminded of this just now because I clicked on an ad for a seed company because I am interested in the strain. I got a pop-up about another strain which I had no interest in. I resent having some marketing crudling think that they have a captive market which is desperate to view their product and so will process the pop-up first. I closed the tab and got out of there. To heck with the Lemon Whatever.
I know that lots of people use various ad blockers, but I had one ages ago that was problematic somehow (I forget how,) so I just do the manual thing. Also, some stores do popups when you first arrive on their main pages, and I am often able to avoid popups by bookmarking a specific product. For example, my Home Depot bookmark is for a can opener, which avoids my having to close their idiotic main-page popup which advises me that the nearest HD store is across the road from me - which I am quite aware of.
There, I've ranted.
