I saw a new, terrible spin on the modal overlay the other day. I was scrolling an article and as I was scrolling a full page ad literally faded in and blocked the entire page as I was scrolling and wouldn’t go away until I completely scrolled it off the page. It was fucking awful.
Another one is the terrible one that pops up when downloading the Power BI desktop app. It makes it seem like you need to sign up for a mailing list for the download to proceed but it’s already downloading.
These modal overlays are a menace.
