Imagine reading a newspaper and having someone keep putting another piece of paper in front of what you are reading. Extremely rude. The pop ups are out of control.
Firefox with Adblocker Plus works for me
These people killed the golden goose. Pop-ups, talking ads, ad traps, and so on. A REASONABLE number of them are tolerable. People gotta eat :), and, I’m very aware that good stuff is not free. I have a DVR but very often I DO watch interesting or funny ads, sometimes more than once if they are really good. It can be done with some creative effort.
And, the faster internet is just barely keeping pace with these bandwidth-sucks. There are sites I’m on that politely ask that you turn ad-blocker off, and those sites have a reasonable number of ads, some of which are actually of interest to me.
Everytime that happens, I immediately delete the ad, without even glancing at the content. By the third time, I delete the link. I don't have time to waste on stupidly written URL pages. The other type I hate is the URL promising 30, 40, or 50 photos of something, only to force you to see one photo per page with popup ads, and force you to click to another page to see the next photo. Again, I'm out of there. Stupidly written web sites won't keep me as a customer, I'm avoiding them.
I agree. How much is to much? Any site that I can’t read because of ads I never visit again.
