The ads industry had decided that pop-ups and pop-unders were not annoying enough, and came up with a new thing - they open a new tab/window with the current page, and redirect the current tab/window to the ad.
There is this one side that does it, but apparently couldn't be bothered to invest some effort in making sure the newly opened current page has the same state as the one it just forced you out of. Either that - or they just didn't make sure that code works in all major browsers...
So, using this site is like this:
You run a search.
You scroll down until you find an item that interest you.
You click that item to expand it (accordion UI)
The page gets replaced with an ad, and a new tab gets opened with the old page.
You close the ad.
The new tab has you back at the top, with all items collapsed.
You scroll again to find that item...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
