I personally hate rounded corners and shadows added everywhere. Makes most things look crappy and smudged.

    Fromt the top of my head:

    • all kinds of pop-ups wanting to guide me through their software/website latest features, giving me pro-tips or recommendations I didn't ask for

    • notifications about shit I didn't subscribe to

    • a virtual assistant icon in the corner showing a message that it wants to help me or talk to me

    • autoplaying videos (bonus points if it's a video unrelated to the article)

    • cookies pop-ups

      It's like the old saying (which made more sense back in the CRT days):

      If I wanted your website to make noise, I'd lick my finger and drag it across the screen!

      Yeah, my favorite is when a site tries to shame my adblock usage by telling me it can't play an unrelated and unsolicited video

      uBlock has filters to block notifications, also for virtual assistant popups, notifications and other annoyances. You just need to enable them in the settings.
