Ever visited a website and felt your blood pressure rise? This ranking captures the most infuriating design decisions and technical blunders that plague the modern web. From the dreaded auto-playing audio that breaks office silence to intrusive cookie banners that block entire screens, these "crimes" range from minor annoyances to accessibility nightmares. Watch out for layout shifts that move buttons just as you click, scroll hijacking that breaks navigation, and the cardinal sin of using divs instead of semantic buttons.
