Oh no you didn't
I just posted a comment to someone's LJ, and upon posting, my screen went greyish and an intrusive video pop-up ad from BestBuy appeared and started blaring, with no option to bypass or click on any links on the screen in the greyed-out area. Fortunately I was able to hit my mute button about 1 second into it and then block the ad using this Opera browser's adblock-type feature. But my screen was still greyed out with all links disabled, and I had to refresh/reload LJ in order to resume using LJ.
I understand if LJ wants to use ads to generate revenue, but I have zero tolerance for pop-up ads that hijack my browser. I know I hardly ever post here anymore but I may stop using this site altogether if this shit continues.
