... has become nightmare. To me, at least. Why ? Because:
- Ads loading and slowing down the real content loading.
- When ads are eventually loaded, the displayed elements move so that the link you clicked on in the article is replaced by an add, and there you go with an add opening a new page.
- Full-page pop-ups that you can only close with a barely clickable 2pix by 2pix icon, provided you find it somewhere on the screen.
- Pop-up asking to install the application instead of using the mobile version of the site EVERY TIME you visit the website, switch from the browser to google play (for android)
- Pop-up for the authorization of the website using cookies
- Using a combo-box or radio buttons is a nightmare when more than 3 elements in the list.
- Watching a video on a website messing up with the system sound, also asking EVERY TIME for agreement to display full screen,...

etc... etc... I am under the impression of being back in 1998, where this was the standard on PCs.
I haven't touched my tablet for more than 6 months now, and I only using my mobile phone for surfing when really no other alternative is available.
