Are you sick and tired of opening a new web page and being greeted by a loud, obnoxious advertisement? I sure am. Pop-up and pop-under ads were bad enough, but now it seems like I can hardly go to a site without having a video start up with a blaring voice braying about a great diet, deal, or the like. I'm looking at you, Facebook.
I can live with ads. I make my living from websites with ads. Even ad-blocking software, like the great open-source Ad-Block Plus, allow Acceptable Ads that don't shove their way into my face. But, this new wave of yakety-yak ads is driving me crazy.
Fortunately, Chrome, its relatives, and Firefox enable you to stop the noise. Here's how you do it.
