Dancing ads: can I block these dern things?
When I go to a web site and there are ads on the right and left trying to sell me something, I tend to ignore them, read the article which brought me to the site, and then move on. What is most irritating are either the dancing ads (with some animal doing a crazy dance on either side of the article) or those which slide on top of or under the article I am reading, forcing me to click on an X to get rid of them (the Sports Illustrated website is a prime example of that).
I understand the ads on both sides of my article. I can ignore them. What I want to block are those which are dancing or come over or under the article I am trying to read. How can I block them?
