When browsing this website, one needs to be careful not to move the mouse over anything that will trigger a popup and cover the page they are trying to read. It's quite easy to accidentally get to 3 layers of pupups.
Popups are antipattern, at least when they appear automatic, without user interaction.
I also disliked the random wikipedia links, that appear to point to something [specific](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific), but then are just wikipedia definitions…
For people who move the mouse a lot or just don't like popup footnotes, Gwern's website has thought of you aswell. If a popup shows up, click the button at the top right of the popup, and select the option to permanently disable popups.
