audio ads sampled at max volume that multiplied every time you tried to close them...

They are the reason people started making products like ublock, and why for most of the 90s I browsed the web with javascript off unless I trusted the site or needed the service for the moment.

Now nothing renders if you do and you need 3 extensions just to not constantly be mobbed by ads
