I kind of wish (kind of really wish) IBTimes was on the autokill list. They're a glorified repost site the overwhelming majority of times they show up here.

> Awful page to link to since it features (a) an auto-play video ad, (b) click-text hidden ads, and (c) a full-page auto-popup after x seconds. Sheesh.

And yet, running NoScript, I saw no auto-play video ad, no click-text hidden ad, and no full-page auto-popup after x seconds.

I just saw the text of the article, somewhat badly formatted (horizontal scroll), but readable.

Another major WTF - the OP's link is auto-playing audio about a solar powered flight from Japan. It is not clear which widget the audio is even coming from.

The ibtimes page linked to that one, but also to a Telegraph article which seems a bit better for a Western audience, so we picked that one.
