Whenever I go to worldometers to check the latest numbers I always get Trump pop ups

With some sort of poll which of course I never click on. Today it was a poll Who was the better president, trump or Obama? Loser 45 is just obsessed with Obama. It’s like asking which is a better dog, a Labrador or a Siamese? They aren’t even in the same category. Trump is a phony con man who stole the election and Obama was a real president.

It’s clickbait. No matter what you answer you will be sent to a site to sign up for RNC or MAGA or some shit and asking for donations. And then they’ll have your contact so they can send you crap from now till the election.

Oh! I almost forgot, I use uBlock!

That program is blocking the pop-ups.

I've never gotten a popup from them and I go to their site frequently. Are you sure you're going to the right URL?
