why the heck does youtube put those banner ads on videos? as if anyone's going stop playing the video to read an ad. all it does is obscure the view of the video! and then you have to take to trouble to clik the ads X to get rid of it!

It gets rid of all sorts of annoying ads. Felix, you may want to give it a try.

Another convert to adblocking. You'll find that some sites whine about it, with notices about how they see that you have an adblocker, that they depend on ads, and they promise that *their* ads are not a problem. Generally, you can just close that notice and keep going. Some sites won't work if you have an adblocker, so then you have to decide whether to disable it for that site, or skip the site.

I'll keep it enabled and just disable it per site as necessary. with some sites, like computer help sites, I'd be happy for them to get some ad revenue from my visit
