Also ads that pop up right beneath my cursor and trick me into clicking them. Also ads on iPhone games that you can't close and that open 4 windows to take you to the App Store.
#68 to #1 - anon (01/10/2015) [-]
When I click on some porn links it takes me to clash of clans in the app store.
#5 to #1 - viralkamina (01/10/2015) [-]
also ads on mobile that are timed so that they appear exactly when you touch the screen. like HOW THE **** do they predict my behavior that good?
#73 to #37 - anon (01/10/2015) [-]
Click the close buttons before the ad can load, you won't get this ****
then again if you have really good internet, I'll pray for you
User avatar #60 to #37 - Anemophobia (01/10/2015) [-]
this so much, I don anything possible to not press those buttons because **** them, I shouldnt have to click on anything of theirs just to close a tab
User avatar #65 to #37 - heartlessrobot (01/10/2015) [-]
******* hell, this. I know for a ******* fact that an "FBI warning" that I've done something illegal and my browser has been locked, is ******** . All you've done is force me to quit out of my browser and reopen it.
#50 to #37 - anon (01/10/2015) [-]
I hate it when a pop-up forces you to click a "Close" or "Cancel" button to close it. Nobody is falling for it. People aren't just going to click on random buttons on suspicious websites just because they have the word "Cancel" on them. You're not going to infect anyone, and you're just making my day suck a little bit more by making me force reboot my browser and manually reopen all my tabs.
User avatar #72 to #50 - wimwam (01/10/2015) [-]
Or when you close and another popup comes up asking if you are sure you want to close

Chrome has a little speaker symbol on tabs that are playing audio
User avatar #46 to #17 - allenbahrain (01/10/2015) [-]
Well that is true unless you have about 30 of them open
#36 to #17 - hellol (01/10/2015) [-]
Anyone know if there's this for firefox? Chrome broke down a while ago (cannot read your preferences = unbookmarking everything + uninstalling my extensions) so I switched.
Can't find a solution to either problem.
User avatar #44 to #36 - twondai (01/10/2015) [-]
i know i'm gonna sound like a retard for saying this, but you should try opera before switching to firefox
#48 to #44 - twondai (01/10/2015) [-]
well
looks like i i did a no-no
#52 to #44 - hellol (01/10/2015) [-]
I tried opera for a week a few years ago and then again a couple months ago on my tablet, it feels weird. But good luck to you.
#47 to #44 - anon (01/10/2015) [-]
You mean try waterfox before firefox.

Same thing but 64 bit.
User avatar #76 to #47 - Encarna (01/10/2015) [-]
Tbh I tried Waterfox but it didn't feel any fast or more efficient, in some cases it felt slower but perhaps I have not set it up correctly?
#16 - karenoniks (01/10/2015) [-]
Once I disabled my adblock because it caused problems on the website that I was working on to see what's the problem.
Every site I visited, every site had two giant adds on the left and right they took like 30% of my screen, there was also one that was expanding and shrinking for no reason, there was one that followed my mouse and three more were right on the middle of the page scrolling with me.
The horrors I've seen.
#71 to #16 - anon (01/10/2015) [-]
**anonymous used "*roll 1, 0-9999*"**
**anonymous rolls 1,983**

The site I use to watch TV shows has horrendus ads on the page that hosts videos. If I don't tactically cancel the loading of the page I'll get four talking advertizements competing over eachother, two more once they time out so I can watch the video, and one that opens a popup when you close it to get to the video.

****		 ads in general
**** ads in general
User avatar #45 to #3 - drackmore (01/10/2015) [-]
Some ads are alright like the ones that are just image links Not ******* gifs, just png,bmp,jpeg and don't cause the page to take twice as long to long.
User avatar #31 to #3 - destaice (01/10/2015) [-]
ADs are what bring the majority of websites profit.

Without ads Youtube, funnyjunk, facebook, twitch, and pretty much all your favorite websites would go out of business or be forced to charge a subscription for use.

AKA, respect the ads, for they allow free browsing.
User avatar #69 to #31 - pokemonstheshiz (01/10/2015) [-]
I wouldn't mind paying for subscriptions for certain sites. That would force youtube to acknowledge that nobody likes google+ , and stop trying to integrate it.
#39 to #31 - anon (01/10/2015) [-]
Youtube is covered by google, google runs google ads, and would be fine without them, just with a lot less income. They make money elsewhere. Twitch would be fine, and so would facebook. Ads aren't the lifeline for them, they have many other profit sources.
#42 to #39 - draaaaiven (01/10/2015) [-]
Sure twitch makes money out of the compressed dreams of the streamers.
User avatar #41 to #39 - mysori (01/10/2015) [-]
Youtube ads aren't primarily for Google. They're for the people that own the videos.

Google still takes a cut of the profits, but still, when you turn their ads of, you're basically taking away one of the major reasons people create Youtube videos.
#55 to #41 - anon (01/10/2015) [-]
That makes no sense, they make majority of their income from ads and the people who make the content for their website get a cut of that income, that's how the company gets paid and how the content creators get paid.
User avatar #57 to #55 - mysori (01/10/2015) [-]
Google runs the Adsense programme which can provide ads on both regular websites and on Youtube.

Whenever a visitor click on one of the ads, the content owner (either a website owner or a video owner) gets a certain amount of money (usually a few cents per click). If I remember correctly, Google takes about 33% of the revenue on each click

The system works more or less the same on both platforms. That's why I would recommend whitelisting Youtube, a lot of the creators on there depend on the revenue provided by their ads
#19 - zomaru (01/10/2015) [-]
Why aren't you using Adblock?
User avatar #20 to #19 - sonoobish (01/10/2015) [-]
because places like "funnyjunk" uses ads to keep on running
User avatar #21 to #20 - zomaru (01/10/2015) [-]
Not to be a dick, but there is an easy thing called Whitelisting.
User avatar #22 to #21 - sonoobish (01/10/2015) [-]
i dont know i never used adblock
User avatar #23 to #22 - zomaru (01/10/2015) [-]
Just get it then check the settings for a whitelist or some sort of page filter.
User avatar #24 to #23 - sonoobish (01/10/2015) [-]
but why. if places uses ads in the first place to stay up why would i want to stop them to shut them down?
User avatar #25 to #24 - zomaru (01/10/2015) [-]
Because I'm not going to be swayed by ****** animated ads or annoying popups to buy a product I don't need.

Also, Adblock has this convenient system that allows pre selected static and simple ads to be shown, which they deam 'acceptable adds' so I will see adds from those who don't strive for my attention.
User avatar #26 to #25 - sonoobish (01/10/2015) [-]
Who says you gotta be swayed by those ****** ads? i only go to web pages that i would like to see keep on running. why would you go to a website that you don't want to stay alive?
User avatar #28 to #26 - zomaru (01/10/2015) [-]
Well, I'm not going to answer the question of 'why would you visit the site you want to see die' at this moment because frankly that is a huge can of worms for this site that I don't think you or I want to type or read at this time.

And the whole point of flash, pop-up, ect.. ads is to get your attention. to make their product look appealing, and to buy their **** . Which I'm not going to do. And I've made the mistake of clicking on an ad on accident in the past and gotten malware so I'm not even risking that happening again.
User avatar #30 to #28 - sonoobish (01/10/2015) [-]
i didnt know it was gonna be bait but ok i get your point. i still wouldnt install it though imo but i guess its just because i just dont care
User avatar #32 to #30 - zomaru (01/10/2015) [-]
Fair enough
User avatar #33 to #32 - sonoobish (01/10/2015) [-]
or it might be because im lazy. but not lazy enough to type this many replies...
#34 - rustmcrust (01/10/2015) [-]
Do you need some ******* faggot bear to tell us that?
User avatar #63 to #34 - sociocat (01/10/2015) [-]

You think you're doing something there, but you're not.   Ads work primarily on creating brand recognition:  a consumer facing two products, one whose brand he's heard of, and one unknown, will vastly prefer the one he recognizes:  "This unadvertised one must be some crappy knock-off because I've never heard anyone mention it before, and this one over here must be the high quality name brand one that I want!"  Trying to make a mental note not to buy it strengthens your recognition, and the devil you know is preferred over the devil you don't.  Even if you manage to make the conscious decision not to buy it, the advertisement has managed to implant it as the primary choice (otherwise you wouldn't need to be overriding the choice to buy it), which will change how you judge the competing product.  Instead of judging whether your purchase is sufficient on its own, you will wonder if you should've bought the product "good enough to warrant being advertised," and the product in your hand will look deficient until you can make that comparison.  IOW, guess what your next purchase will likely be?   
   
Marketing is 			*******		 devious.  There's a reason companies spend billions on it.

Except now you can literally spend five seconds on looking up reviews
User avatar #40 to #13 - wallbuilder (01/10/2015) [-]
It sounds more like spite in this post - spite will hurt oneself simply to hurt another.
Or " **** brand x, even if their product is good I won't get it because they use ****** ads."
User avatar #58 to #13 - thismustbeseen (01/10/2015) [-]
What you said only makes sense if you assume consumers are complete morons.

Read up on the science behind marketing.

Pulling that **** , plus the **** mentioned below: AdBlock+; Ghostery; NoScript; Two weeks or more. I ******* hate that **** with a passion.

Same thing with ads that try to open new tabs or windows.
#6 to #2 - TurtleOnItsBack (01/10/2015) [-]
I didn't want to download adblocker. I respect most advertisements because I know that's how websites get their money and if I like their sites I should respect them enough to deal with the ads. But recently they've become unnecessarily annoying that I had to do it.
#8 to #6 - xelagnik (01/10/2015) [-]
Yup.
Turnabout is fair play.
They advertise irresponsibly, without regard for our best interests.
So we browse without regard for theirs.

DICK MOVES ALL AROUND!
#7 to #6 - jewfrosdsd (01/10/2015) [-]
You can whitelist domains with most ad blockers
#9 to #7 - xelagnik (01/10/2015) [-]
Yes sir, and being whitelisted is a privilege, much like respect.
Hard to earn, easy to lose. The freedom and speed with which it is given, is only outmatched by that with which it is taken.
#79 to #9 - jewfrosdsd (01/15/2015) [-]
wat.

If you make commercials when they say things like hashtag, poke, like, comment, Facebook, Twitter or anything Internet related, then I'm not going to buy your product

Well it worked
#11 - kingderps (01/10/2015) [-]
Wrong meme, but yeah, I agree and do the same. People with auto play sound ads should be publicly lashed.

Finally someone who got it. ******* Adblock is ******** . Don't like a site because of ads? Don't visit the site. Don't like an ad? Don't buy the product.
