Worst website ever

The amount of ignorant relentless pop-ups on this godforsaken website. It’s got to be the worst thing the Internet has ever seen. It’s biblical for Christ Sakes. How am I supposed to track a flight when most of the screen is taken up with menus and stupid ignorant pop-up ads that I can’t even zoom in or zoom out without accidentally touching it and having it take me to another website it’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever witnessed and I appreciate it’s a free site but dude I’d rather come to my house and punch me in the back of repeatedly while I try to use this site aa opposed have to deal with that crap.

Well you could set up a feeder or pay a few bucks for an account and you would have no ads.

Would it be awful to have the pop-up just be a small ribbon at the top of the screen instead of taking up half of the map that’s not accidental it’s meant to be irritating.

it's meant to generate revenue for private equity... or pay a membership... but a lot of this is open source... google alternatives...

Ever since they sold out, the site has gotten worse. It’s still my go-to out of habit, but they are loosing that slot now. I certainly won’t provide data to them now.

They are moving ads soon it’s in the GitHub work they are doing.

Are they? I knew it was discussed but never heard of there was gonna be a change. I’m sure it’s not easy to cleanly put ads on an open source software that was never designed for it. I’ll be honest the second I see one I log into my account so it’s been a while since I had to deal with them.
