I'm getting truly sick of the ones that OVERLAY a part of whatever I want to read, and won't go away even when you acknowledge and dismiss them.
I certainly recognize that the content pages have to be paid for, fine, I'll acknowledge their ad, but then it should GO THE HELL AWAY.
And this isn't just on Windows -- the same thing happens on my Linux box, and occasionally on my Mac, and eventually I have to just give up because the damned ad won't let me read the content -- so I stop going to that site.
And they lose me entirely as a visitor. A fat lot of good their "ad" did for them.
It’s really sad that you don’t know how to turn off scripting, or are too lazy to try.
