I do not. For me the ads are part and parcel of getting free information.

... and I have ads (Google ads!) only onto 1 of them. They are placed bottom on each page and do not disturb navigation.
POPUPS: NEVER!!!!!!!

Especially obnoxious are the animated ads. They really distract, ... and so disappear.

Amen to that. I don't even go to CodeGuru anymore - at all.

Ads are unwanted baby that comes with the pleasure of doing net, I use protection like adblock, flashblock, NoScript. It helps you to protect also from (AIDS) malicious scripts, bandwidth consumtion, etc.

I use firefox, adblock, I block all ads on all sites I visited, even ads on CP
|

i love the ad blocker because i hate when you open a new page and are trying to find something and ads just keep poping up it gives me the s**ts big time.
|

I don't block in-page ads.
|
|

Same here. In page ads i tollerate, Pop-ups i block.

Likewise , in page ads OK, popups bye-bye
|

Same here. I also tend to disable the shockwave flash player plugin for IE. Some sites are using Flash pop-ups that cover the page (essentially popping up over it) to advertise. For that reason, I disable flash except for when I want to see something in flash.

How do you disable those in IE?

starting from the "Tools" menu ...
Tools -> Manage Addons -> locate "Shockwave Flash Object"
If it has been loaded, you should see it listed. If you haven't been to any pages today that use flash, then you will need to select the "Add-ons that have been used by Internet Explorer" option from the "Show" drop down list at the top of the form.
Once you find the "Shockwave Flash Object", click on it to select it. Then at the bottom of the form, mark the "Disable" radio option, and then click the "OK" button to save the change. The browser will probably reload the page that you're on.
Whenever you want to view a flash movie, simply follow this same steps but mark the "Enable" radio option instead.
Note: If you're not running a current version of Internet Explorer with the most recent patches, you may not have the "Manage Addons" option available to you in the "Tools" menu.

I tend to take ads in stride, as part of the price of "free" content.
But occasionally, i'll hit a site that tries to spread ads outside the browser window, either through pop-ups or installation of software (ActiveX)(why is it that nearly all lyrics sites try to install Gator?!). Worse yet are the dodgy ones that use various combinations of Java, Flash, and JS to try to shove their ads in my face... These end up in my HOSTS file very quickly.

I use a custom hosts file with the DNS names of the most hated advertisers redirected to 0.0.0.0
Does the trick and still lets me see the adverts of CP and other respected sites.
