A Web Site Not To Use

In my previous post, I mentioned that some web sites, when you access them, open a new browser with a full page advert.

I find this practice very unacceptable. I know that some of the more sleazy tabloids use this practice, but I just opened the web site for the Daily Express.  I got a very unacceptable advertisement in another copy of my browser.  Incidentally, when I closed this unwanted browser window, it immediately reopened and only by closing the original page containing the Daily Express web site, was I able to continue without being interrupted by offensive advertising. 

So I shall be continuing of my policy of never having bought this rag in my lifetime! And I’ll never look at their web site again, unless there is a story there, that I have to look at.  But I haven’t needed to yet!

I shall be reporting them to someone.  But who?
