Used to be? IME they still are, just not as bad as they used to be. If you go browse a few adult video sites (for science) you'll see pop-up/unders are still a thing. Even on chrome you'll see a variation of them, making the current tab the ad after the user has opened the link in a new one. Instead of webgl, webasm, etc I'd love to see a browser vendor focus on making a good browser again.
It's also hard to take their privacy promises seriously when they've got google analytics embedded in their blog.
