I went to the Drudge Report web site and this large green banner that wanted me to sign a petition was covering the bottom 1/5 of the screen. I couldn't get it to close when I clicked on the "X" and even when I went to the site the banner was linked to it wouldn't get off the screen. Anybody else with this problem?

Haven't visited his site directly in years-too many ads-but I do follow him on Twitter.

What type of petition was it?

Yeah I saw it too and it won’t let you close it. Drudge needs to wake up. His site is getting closer to becoming like Breitbart. Unusable.

I don’t have that problem. My problem sites are townhall.com and dailycaller.com with dailycaller being the most offensive.

Install Adblock Plus on your browser (for FireFox or Chrome).

Almost all ads will disappear like magic.

Including ads on Youtube.

I'm getting that, too. One word for it: revenue.

I use Firefox with Ad Block Plus so I never have to see any of Drudge’s ads.

Its poorly coded advertising

it would not be dismissed ...by clicking the “X” normally coded to dismiss unwanted banners...and or popups or “pop unders”

I always turn off javascript before visiting Drudge. It stops the banner ads and stops that annoying three-times-a-minute page reload.

Wake up, Matt Drudge, your site has too many intrusive gimmicks.

I don’t see it. I’ve had Drudge as my home page going on 20 years. It’s as clean and stable as it was in 1996. I run Chrome as a browser with the ad blocker add-ons.

It’s a useless list of links to tabloid garbage that appeals solely to cults of personality anyway.

The internet would be unuseable without Ad-Block
