AdBlock Plus. I swear by it. Only takes a few seconds to instal and works like a charm. (You’re going to love it.)

Firefox with AdBlockPlus and NoScript addons should fix you right up.

My problem, too. No fault of the great FR. But it doesn’t advance people’s knowledge to be driven crazy by pop ups and audio ambushes.

No, just lose Internet Explorer and use Google Chrome. No ads at all. you can even import your old bookmarks/favorites. The only bug is there’s no home button (by default), until you go into the settings and enable it.

Some news sites have a “print version” without all the ads
We should use it more often.

Download the Ghostery plug-in for your browser. Block everything it tracks and your problems are solved. You won’t have any script issues because it will all be blocked before it can fire off the script. It is fascinating to also watch how many things are tracking you by pausing Ghostery blocking the trackers, widgets, and analytics and ads. I have seen up to 30 trackers on web pages before. Also, you get a nice speed boost by shutting all of that garbage down.
To: LoneRangerMassachusetts
Put me on the list endorsing a good ad blocking option (such as AdBlock). Other than that, your best option is to see what else FR regulars recommend (such as a NoScript option). You won’t in general get a good website that stays current on the best strategy, and no one strategy will continue to work. The best you can do is update your approach once or twice a year to block most of the garbage.

Never seen a single ad or pop-up or oddly underlined text on FR.
It’s you, man. Not FR.

Firefox with AdBlockPlus and NoScript addons should fix you right up.Firefox is pure evil. They (the Mozilla Firefox organization) not only support the sodomite agenda but they have never taken a pro-life, pro-gun stance for freedom and liberty.
