    Was trying to watch a movie online and i'm met with this. There were more that came up as i tried to browse the site. Each as bad as the last.

    Probably a bit NSFW :p

    Ad-block plus should get rid of the bulk of them, the rest that are text up on the screen are irritating for having to constantly having to click them away.

    Opera has a fantastic ad blocker inbuilt. Haven't had a pop up. To the point that if I try to open something in a new tab I have to either right click it or click on the bottom of the screen to allow it.

    YouTube video ads though... I still have to put up with that one. Haven't gotten around to see if there is a extension to stop those.

    I prefer Chrome to Firefox, but was having it crash more often than I'd like. With Chrome you can sign in using your gmail account for extra functionality, but if it crashes, it logs you out and you have to sign back in and start messing about with application specific passwords. So, I switched back to Opera.

    The start screen on Opera is great. You set seemingly whatever number of sites on the homescreen you want. They call it a speed dial, with (if you haven't seen it) mini-windows of the site on the home screen. Have 61 sites a click away. At first, the windows take up a big chunk of the screen but they get smaller as you add more stuff. Lots of great features too.
