When I use someone else’s computer I am always shocked at how many ads are on pages that I use everyday. Adblock is truly the best addon ever.

I just installed Adblock after trying to get an answer from MS as to how to stop those “mouseover” popups from happening. Other than disabling scripting, they didn’t have an answer. More and more frequently, those mouseover popups are ads.

Adblock stops them.

Incidentally, I had firefox on the computer for a couple of days, and it did the same thing. Looks like advertizers have found a new “feature” to exploit. and Adblock has found a new solution.
