ads on articles in anandtech ..

[rameshms]

Is it just me or does more people feel my pain..

I'm getting more and more frustrated reading articles on anandtech due to the ads that get embedded in the html..

I do have a fast internet and reasonably powerful system and use firefox.. Everytime i visit an article, I see the pages refreshed almost feels like it flashes which I think is related to the ads. It gets very annoying esp. while reading multiple page articles..

Maybe i'm picky.. I also get annoyed looking at a monitor with refresh rate @ 60Hz..

Open up Notepad, copy-paste.

or get Adblock extension.

I don't read articles on anandtech. 12 pages of bar graphs showing that video card X is 2% faster than competing video card Y in some application Z that I've never used. Woohoo.

Thats what I'm talking about. I messing around with the link and it didn't post what I typed and that crap happened. You can't even quote that post. I have no idea...

If the stupid epileptic-fit-inducing flashing, jumping, bouncing, swirling Flash adverts were removed from the front page, I'd go back to visiting the AT home page regularly without AdBlock.

Static images I can live with.
Multiple flashing adverts just look cheap and nasty.
