Author Topic: research Ads that pop up BEHIND your open browser window. (Read 2607 times)

Just after trying to DL v1.2 of AfterBlock, some research ad popped up in an "invisible window" that caused my slightly upgraded speeds of 25kb/s Download speeds all the the way down to 2b/s.

Yeah, I'll wait over a week for 11MB to dl.
Discuss stupid research ads.

Its not a link. Its words. I can't be banned for writing it because you have to type it in. Either way, i'm pointing out that when I go onto certain sites that site pops up and slows everything way down.

Best part is when the audio starts playing while your parents are in the room.

(Also Ad Block Plus is best ad block)

As Badspot once said, snarky technicalities won't be tolerated. AKA, have a nice ban.

I don't see how typing the name of a website is ban worthy. It would be more ban worthy if i made it blue like a link. Its plainly black and obviously not a link.

My internet is slow because it's "high-speed".

This ad just played this annoying beeping that made me think my computer was broken. For a second I thought it was Norton loving up, so I minimized Chrome, low and behold.

MEET HORNY SINGLES NOW

Thank god I have slow internet anyways, so it didn't even load over 25%.
I can't imagine my mom hearing that.

Wynd_Fox · February 17, 2011, 01:09:41 AM
