Not sure what's on that site; I hopped right into firefox's reader mode on the first popup that... popped up, and it all seems pretty good now :)
It's hard for me to imagine browsing the web without it anymore, and I assume for regular people it's just an annoying experience of blindly agreeing and accepting everything without reading :/

There is a giant button on the popup that says "Continue with Adblocker"

#5This story is just a summary of: https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/9/18301736/slack-microsoft-o...
It also contains less information as it makes it seem like Slack and O365 are collaborating when they are not.
tl;dr: "Microsoft has shown in the past that it’s willing to partner with rivals like Dropbox, but Slack’s Office 365 integration was created using public APIs and with no special help from Microsoft. This Slack integration comes just months after Microsoft launched its free version of Teams to rival Slack, just weeks after the company unveiled creative new conference call features for its Slack competitor."

#6Maybe change the link to the original source: https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/9/18301736/slack-microsoft-o... -- which also doesn't have a bunch of popups and autoplaying video.

Giant button? Id say it's more of a tiny, humble pale-white link on the bottom. yuck.

#9G Suite add-ons were also released at the same time (or at least the update notification stated so) and at least the calendar and email add-ons have been awesome so far.

#10This is a good move from Slack. Microsoft teams is an extremely high quality product already. Slack has to be wary of this competitive force nipping at their heels. I've seen teams make good penetration into large companies by starting as the alternative to sharepoint for new projects/working groups.
Team's live editing functionality of excel files is really really valuable for team collaboration. Slack closing the gap on O365 integration is important for enterprise sales.
