> The only reason that we would not see them pop up in this logging tool is that they were on the site and bounced so quickly that the logging tool was unable to load and capture anything of their session.

I'm really happy to hear this shows up in site metrics, since it's exactly what I do when I follow a link into ad-laden crap. I don't block ads by default, but I also have zero tolerance for keeping crap open.



Or the pop-up filled marketing sites. "Come chat with us." "Click this big banner for a discount." "Come to this webinar if you can't find the small X to close this banner." "This site uses cookies." "Watch these fifty background animations play."


I remember this JS prank, where you tried chasing the close X all over the screen.

Sadly, it is quite close to what actually happens.


Ctrl-w or cmd-w have saved me many times.
