Curse

They're on youtube, they're at the bottom of the screen, to the side, at the top, popup during the videos, and while you're browsing.

You have to pay to get rid of the damn things, and they wont go away after "close".

What really pisses me off is my comp just broke and it's slow now, so it cant handle all the pressure.

I know it's to make money, but please give us a break.

Even computers need to breathe. My CPU usage shoots from 35% to nearly 80% and it's a dual-core Intel 2.2ghz.

The worst part about it, to me at least, is the order in which things are loaded on the page.

ALWAYS - the thing I'm most concerned with on the page is last to load, while nearly every ad pops up almost instantaneously.

you should get a program that blocks ads. i use noscript, for example.

Tried several and they never worked.

Bad part is you have to pay for those too, so you may aswell just buy the product.

You are vastly mistaken.
Adblock Plus for Firefox works AMAZINGLY. Even blocks some Hulu ads.
It's also 100% free.

And just to be kind to others. You can whitelist sites that you want to support. (Using adblock)

Yeap Youtube is a piece of trash now, I miss the good old days. But alas, every good thing gets turned into a festering ad pit after it's bought by google.

The problem is ads are the only real way free stuff can be paid for.

NoScript has to be the best add-ons I've ever downloaded for firefox. For some people it may be annoying especially at first when u don't have the things you want set to allow. But once used to it, its really great program and blocks alot of stuff and helps security wise too. I don't run any other blocker.
