In the early 2000s there was a site usability movement centred around the work of Jakob Nielsen and http://useit.com. Fortune 500s were paying him huge sums to have extraneous crap removed from their home pages and just for a while sanity and minimalism ruled. Then Web 2.0 arrived.

#62Needs to prefix the tab's title with a blinking "(1)" or "*" when the chat pops up. And have that paired with a loud chat notification sound. Edit: also should mention that this is both sad and awesome.

#63Honestly the site is way too performant to be realistic. All those buttons worked nearly instantly. I'm assuming you're missing the awaited tracking networking calls.
I am not seeing any autoplaying videos unrelated to the article that pop into a PIP window in the bottom of the screen as you scroll causing the amount that you've scrolled to jump so you lose your place

#69Very bitter and to the point. I regularly wonder, do the people who want features like these installed — feedback form, "support chat" windows of various degrees of fakeness, subscription offer popups jumping in your face, and other absolutely baffling obstacles — really use their own web sites? Have they ever had to?
Very often, they do not, especially if the site creators are not a part of their own target demographic
