No. I like 'em, and itchy wool underwear, and nipple clamps...
I find blocking/stoping adverts very lame, almost funny. If you block adverts with your webbrowser, why not just make your T.V go off each time an advert comes on there??? can you imagine that....
generally speaking , it like under the curse of the demanding public ... actually very hard to survive and at the same time be rigorously honest and principled ...
//i did said is a bad trend in the long run anyway ...

You can get TVs that can do that? Where? I want one!
Seriously, I would pay good money for a TV that would cut the volume each time the ads came on.

Are you using Firefox? You can download an extension called Flashblock, which replaces all Flash content with a "button" - click on it to view, or right click and choose the option to allow flash from a particular site. (Tools>Extensions>Get more extensions, iirc).
i have to say yes ... ever since i was young enough , especially sites that are selling things that we can purchase from ordinary stores on the ground ...
i think it was because of the buisness demand of more efficient and therefore more attractive on-line services that we have all sorts of "professionally" looking nonsense coming up in lightning speed and with ease ...
the internet now is really a land of wastes now ... in my opinion ...

you are confusing the Internet with the world wide web(WWW), the Internet is great but the WWW is not so great, though it is nice for somethings(like research etc).
