Nope, Firefox only blocks pop-ups.

I have Norton's adblocker. It works great, i almost never see any graphical ADs. Text based ads I don't mind, as they aren't disturbing.

Yes, of course, I hate ads that annoy me xD
I only allow a few ad companies' ads to be shown.

myself, i don't have adblock turned on. some ads are interesting, and i don't find them very annoying. i just don't visit much sites which have an ad overdose.

ads, in general, don't bother me...the ones that do are the pop-ups, pop-unders, and whatever else is not on the actual page i'm viewing. i block those at all costs!

I only block ads if they annoy me. How od they annoy me?

-If they are a mini game that kill my load times.
-Mess me up when playing an online game (Hint Hint runescape )
-Flash or blink or use hard colors on the eyes.

I try to leave ads as much as possible because I know wihtout ads most websites do not have other income.
