Website built in HTML5 that severely lags a computer
- The site checks if the browser will allow it to open popups.
- If it is not allowed to open popups, it redirects the user to a seperate page asking them to enable them.
- If it is allowed to open popups, it moves on.
- The site then opens ~100 fullscreen popups in order to "protect" the central tab from being closed, as popups are incapable of creating new popups, only the original page can.
- The site then uses a ton of the following effects to make the computer hang:
- Laggy CSS effects
- Weird Unicode characters
- Random number generation
- Annoying popups in random places on the screen
Realistically, no. All it takes is one restart to clear everything. This is less of a virus and more of an annoyance. The only feasible damage it could do is force a user to restart with unsaved changes to a file.
Go ahead, this is licensed under the MIT License, so you can pretty much do anything with this code. Feel free to make changes, redeploy, etc. I don't really care; this was very quick to make.
The site is deployed on https://unbschool1.netlify.app, you can use it there, or you can deploy it yourself by making a fork or downloading the code.
