That site commits what is, for me, one of the few permanent banning offences - it resizes the browser window.

These days, people spend a lot of time in browsers, and in a lot of cases set up their browsers just the way they want them. To run roughshod over that is extremely bad manners.

Not only that, but it resizes the window to just under maximum - so you can't just toggle restore/max to return to your former browser window size. Your former finely tuned settings are overwritten and lost. That's a tactic that malware/scareware sites use, to try to make sure that if you're using your browser at all, the scary message always covers your whole monitor, whether maximized or not.

Near-maximizing a browser window over other apps that may also be running can also cause loss-of-focus issues.

So that's at least one thing you can learn from that site - DON'T DO THAT!
