Banner ads I can handle.

Pop-ups are evil (and anyway the Google toolbar nukes those).

Flash ads I can handle (there's the occassional fun one).

Flash ads that use 100% of the CPU, and which don't let you stop or pause them... thanks, folks, obviously it's more important to use up my CPU cycles than it is for me to have a cooler computer BY NOT WASTING UNNEEDED CYCLES! Gah!

Hmm, that's not clever. Of course, it's a constant running battle, and some tool will do better than others.

I've no problem with banner ads either, but only in their place. JPEG, text, GIF within reason, but if it pops up, plays obnoxious music, flashes or annoys me in some other way, it gets deep-sixed without a backward glance. If they play nice, I'll play nice.
