Tell me about it!
However, I take my stance on being 100% against invasive advertising to the
technology side - I don't see a single popup, nor do I receive a single
cookie from an advertiser, nor do I even see a single banner ad.
www.webwasher.com
www.panicware.com (Pop-Up Stopper)
And for spam, I use SpamKiller. www.spamkiller.com.
But it appears MSNBC (my former favorite news site) doesn't like me
filtering out its ads and popups and won't display at all. I guess they
don't want me to read their stuff. I now get my news at CNN, ad free.
