Başvurunu YapNew dark pattern trend of triggering a fake browser error “There was a problem loading the page. Please click OK to learn more”
-
Tried to visit iheartumami.com using my (defensive) browser. The popup is nothing that was generated by the website, but rather an error message of the browser’s own creation. Yet I can see very well that the webpage rendered fine.
Normally if my Auto Overlay Remover extension does not remove a popup, I can force it to run to get rid of the popup. But because iheartumami.com was designed by some obnoxious sneaky motherfuckers, they somehow tricked the browser into falsely believing that it failed to load the page. The browser’s own popup blocks us from seeing the whole page. The user is /forced/ to:
- click cancel, which just loops. The assholes have you re-fetching the page and wasting bandwidth, b/c why would they give a shit about carbon footprints?
- click ok, which leads to yet another popup that demands you enable ads and popups with nothing else rendered, thus defeating the overlay remover.
- or leave it in an tab while viewing another, in which case the page reloads repeatedly non-stop which abuses both the user’s bandwidth and the website’s bandwidth.
This particular assault which somehow abuses our browser’s error detection has become increasingly popular lately.
The circumvention:
