I use Firefox for my browser. Go to Mozilla to get add ons. Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin are good ad blocker and you won't have these issues any longer.

I'll second that. Also get the Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus.
Another one to try is Webmail Ad Blocker.
We're dealing with this on our board (I'm a mod there): it's a corporate issue, and they've been damn slow to respond. Looks like they're trying to squeeze out all of the ad revenue they can. They're gonna start losing people if they continue pulling stunts like this.
Yes. Most of us wouldn't mind unobtrusive advertising. It gets bad when you can't read the content you are there for. Worse yet, the page has trouble loading regardless of system resources. I installed a new anti-adblock script due to the number of sites that attempt to block my use of ad block software.
It says it on their site, but here's the steps:
1. Install an adblocker. I recommend Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin.
2. Install a Script Manager. I recommend Greasemonkey.
3. Install Anti-Adblock Killer script.
4. Subscribe to their Anti-Adblock Killer list. This is for your adblocker software.
Go HERE to get the script, list and instructions.
So far I am loving Adblock Plus and Adblock Genesis Plus... added ABP to my phone too.

I don't mind a few ads to generate revenue for a site, but cmon man. The scrolling/video ones that virtually stop your computer defeat the purpose of advertising. It just pisses a user off at the product/company that they are trying to sell. They could accomplish the goal better with just a simple pic and print without the flashing crap. Just because you can ad flashy effects to an ad doesn't mean you should.
They have (found a way around Adblocker) and I'm just about ready to dump this website from favorites. I'm tired of ads everywhere I turn. Not mention that because of the ads this website is slow and clunky and it took me far to long just type these few sentences because of the nonsense.
Install Firefox.
Install NoScript.
Take 5 minutes to learn how to whitelist web domains by right-clicking on the web pages you visit.
Not only will this completely remove all annoying ads, it will let you see which companies are spying on you on each web site you visit. For example, right-clicking on Rivals.com right now I see Google, Facebook, and Yahoo all embedded. They are all blocked thanks to NoScript. Twitter is also on here but I have it whitelisted so I can see embedded tweets.

I've been using NoScript for years.
Recommend keeping Chrome or internet explorer around for some web pages though... some have like 30 scripts running and it's a waste of time to enable them, pure craziness.
It will also stop some sites from functioning totally. This is normal, and once you learn how to use it and allow the script the site will work fine. If you have issues just view in a different browser.
I know what you're talking about. Forbes is probably the worst offender and has the most bloated web site I have ever seen. I don't even click on links to their page anymore because of it. Tmz is a close second, but their web site is at least functional if you just whitelist the Tmz domain.
