in the 90s there was no technology to have an overlay of an ad following you while you scroll and when you close it a new one appears more aggressively. Or to let you start reading an article and then suddenly appear in your face not allowing you to continue. Yes, there was the worse situation that they would open a whole new window, but browsers started restricting it quite early

Well at least in the early 2000s we certainly had the cascading cavalcade of pop-up windows that you couldn't get rid of, I do remember that. Maybe not in the '90s though because it probably would have caused your computer to meltdown. Heh
