I don't like their website - they're very insistent.

Since they wouldn't let me ignore their 'sign-up for a free
something-or-other, I killed it.

I got a popup and simply clicked on the red "X" to close it. No problem
to look at the rest of the website.

I didn't have any problems with the site nor did I get any popups. But
then I use the Firefox web browser with Adblock and NoScript - they get
rid of all the crap on websites nowadays and make them load faster too.
I tried using Microsoft's Internet Explorer the other day for curiosity
- first time for years and was amazed how many adverts and other crap
are on sites now. I'd only been using it for ten minutes or so when I
got a security alert about something trying to hijack the browser! So
quickly back to Firefox again.

isn't Firefox a Microsoft product?

No. Nothing to do with Microsoft.

I also have Adblock plus running, and am happy with it. I disabled
NoScript as I got fed up continually having to allow things. In
general, I have no idea whether something should be allowed to run or
not. Just looking at the NoScript webpages, there are 350 lines on the
features page and well over 1000 on the faq page. Too much information,
maybe?

Maybe I'll try again in future and persevere with it.

I don't bother looking at any of the help or faq for it. If I'm just
surfing around or following links from Google then most sites don't need
to run scripts - those that don't seem to work without them I make a
judgement call and either temporarily allow scripts for that site to run
on the page or go to a different site.

The only sites I permanently allow permissions for are those such as
online banking. This regime seems to work well. I've not picked up any
computer viruses or trojans since switching to Firefox with these
add-ons years ago. My anti-virus has never needed to kick in to try to
block anything.

The one and only time I had a virus was around five years ago when I
used to use Internet Explorer and got hit with a drive-by virus. There
was a known hole in IE and Microsoft took several months to fix it - but
by then it was too late. I think a lot of folks got hit with that one.

My IE treats innocent drop-down lists as popups, and disallows
them --even though I've unchecked the blocker. But that site's annoying
ad came through unhesitatingly, and I abandoned it even though its red
"X" worked: I'm clearly not the kind of person they want as a customer.

I've only ever used IE once on any of my boxes, and that was to go and
get Firebird - Firefox's predcessor.

I read the site with Safari. Maybe it is browser dependent.

Maybe so. I know what weeds to eat, garlic mustard is good to start with.

The solution I found (using Firefox) is to complete their fields and
press the button to subscribe (I found that blank fields would not
work). The fields were filled in as follows:
Using Safari and clicking the little red cross seems a simpler solution. :-)

The problem is that for some people installing a new browser just to do
that is not a simpler solution...

It's simple enough, but on my little Eee there's not a lot of room.

If a site doesn't behave nicely, I won't play with it.
