It is advertising on site that starts it's audio and video advertising just because you logged in and there is no way to stop it!

Today that happened on THIS site and my mouse did not even hover over the lousy Samsung ad.

There are a couple of solutions. On Firefox, you can use Noscript. This will speed up page loads and also reduce the amount of tracking cookies downloaded to your PC.

You can also use Adblock Plus (also for Chrome).

It is ashamed that some sites have to resort to these ads it makes me visit less often or at all.

I installed adblock + on the mb pro this afternoon...outstanding program and as I write this it's blocking ELEVEN (no scat) ad sites on this page...

Moving over to the CL website, It killed 10...on the CL Forums home page it got eleven. I'll add it to the windows machine first thing tomorrow. Outstanding find.

You're welcome!

I also recommend "Purify" for iOS where the blocking capability comes in even more handy for speeding up mobile page loads.
