Re: The ads are bad...
"I honestly cannot remember a single ad I've seen on the internet."
I do. It was that animated one of a train that was all over the El Reg site a few years ago that pissed me off so much that El Reg has been on my advertisers shit list ever since. It wasn't just the annoying animations, but the ads appeared multiple times on the same page and often obscured the article making it impossible to read.
Likely the adverts were "best viewed in Internet Explorer 6.0" and so fucked up the coding when loading into Firefox running on FreeBSD.
Now, as others have said, I also don't use an Ad Blocker. I just block all JS and then selectively unblock until a site works enough to be usable/readable.
