How many sites have we all been to when you move your mouse curser to the top of the page a popup appears?! Or an ad floats across the page?!
How many blinking ads?! How many redirects to another page?!
How many videos that start automatically?!

See http://www.lucianne.com for overuse of ads. I started using adblocker when I use to go there.

Without adblocker the Briebart http://www.breitbart.com site would be of no use, same for Star & Tribune http://www.startribune.com

There are site where you cannot even scroll down the page because they have so many trackers loading and videos playing the the web browser cannot handle it.

You cannot fix stupid web page creators so you have to use products like adblocker plus.

Same here, regardless of ideology of website. There are tons of right wing websites I used to click on to read content, but they crashed my browser as well as Dem/Commie ones like the Star Tribune.

Websites that behave in that fashion are self-limiting their traffic/clicks.
