Clipboard copy injections needs to be added into that list.

Nothing more annoying than copying some text and seeing an ad when you paste it

I think it's possible only in IE, or using Flash.

They don't touch your actual clipboard, they modify your selection instead, so it works cross-browser. Tynt is the company selling this shit.

This is so true. Worst of all a company named Tynt has a patent pending for ctrl+c injection:

"I decided to copy the JavaScript and create a library"

Anyone else worried about using this now? Let alone owning it? (Until I see a license on the original.)

I would add the marquee tag reinterpreted for 2011:

1. Tweets constantly scrolling through a sidebar 2. Unstoppable huge slide show above the content you claim to want me to read

And of course,

Autoplay video with sound.

Oh! Please add site added toolbars on the top, the bottom, and the sides of the browser window, usually adding the ability to tweet, facebook, subscribe, feedback, blah blah blah take up your window space.
