I don’t mind the kinds of ads they have on the actual search engine page, i.e. plain text ads. But the pop-up / floating ads on sites like Breitbart.com have gotten so obnoxious that it really makes it hard to read the web site content - particularly on a lower power platform like an iPad. I use AdBlock on my PCs, but that’s not an option for the iPad.

Oh yeah, I forgot about those. I concur, those floaters are another major pain especially if you open them in a small window, because the “X” is obscured. When you expand the window, the page remains scrolled to where you can’t get to the “X” on the pop-up/floater. I end up closing the page and either resize the opening window for just one article, or quit, to find the info elsewhere.
