Yessss, NoScript is kind of my answer to those, because the adblock usually just blocks the message inside it and not the actual script that calls it. The most annoying thing is that the overlays will show on my phone, though, and trying to get them to close is sometimes impossible, so I just have to refresh the page to get it to go away. :| I want something like NoScript for my phone browser.
And yeah, which is unfortunate. It's too bad there isn't a better way to secure that format, really.
Yeah and it's not like it really... helps when it's a product unrelated to the page I was looking at, anyway. Occasionally I just get irritated because they're targeting me for perfume or something just because they somehow figured out I was female and that just makes me facepalm. Figuring I would probably be interested in study aids because I'm on an educational site? Reasonable. Figuring I would probably be interested in lacy lingerie because I have XX chromosomes, even though I'm reading up on tea or something? Not so much.
