Also, I hate it when you click a link to go to a web page and then when you want to go back to the original page that contained the link you hit the back button on the web browser but it won’t go back and instead redirects you to some advertisement you don’t want to see.
Agreed, how about when you want to unsubscribe to an email and the ask are you sure.

If you have an icon to log off, then it should log you off. Period. Am I correct? End of rant.
It's not taking you to another site, it's just a pop up warning to ensure you're not in the middle of something and accidently hit the log off button. It's still under the same site security certificate.

Or when they ask you to input your email. You just clicked unsubscribe on the friggen email they sent you that you didn’t want.
