Ad Blocking Software

How very dare you!

It does require clicks and you should only click on an advert if the product interests you.

Do any of you employ ad blocking software for IE?

First of all I don't use IE, even in it's newest incarnations it's still a steaming pile of doo-dah.

Personally I use Chrome (mainly for seamless operation between devices) with Adblock Plus to block the ads. You can turn it off on a site by site basis, or allow certain types of ads through, so no worries about your favourite forum being punished. I also have the Ghostery extension which takes care of all manner of tracking cookies, it's blocked 3 on this site and up to 20 on well-known news sites, and again you can disable it on individual sites if it breaks functionality. I believe both extensions are available for Firefox but I stopped using it as it seems dog slow since recent updates.
