Speaking to Windows Weekly, Microsoft Marketing chief Chris Capossela explained that users who choose Windows 7 do so “at your own risk, at your own peril” and he revealed Microsoft has concerns about its future software and hardware compatibility, security and more.
[...] There’s only one problem with Capossela’s statements: they are complete rubbish. Windows 7 is no less secure than Windows 10 (it will be supported until 2020) and no less compatible with new hardware and software. In fact its far greater market share means it is developers’ priority and has greater compatibility with legacy programmes and peripherals. If Fallout 4 won’t run on your Windows 7 computer, it will be upgrading your components not installing Windows 10 which fixes that.
As for fragmentation, the only issue that creates is for Microsoft and its target of getting one billion devices running Windows 10 within 2-3 years of release.

That was what worked in firefox for me, as well; that's what tipped me off that chromium's infinite loop was probably something else. As it turns out, the biggest problem was chromium's incognito combined with adblock. (chromium uses nothing else since it's my backup.)
I doubt it is a deliberate decision (though the adblock nagging is, so maybe) rather it's probably just a side effect of the idiotic site design. It doesn't happen often, but I've encountered a few sites in the past that behave strangely with incognito but never cared enough to to find out why.
