9. If you can run Firefox, it should. Chrome also has adblocking..
We should never be subjected to offensive/annoying content on a machine we own delivered on bandwidth we pay for.

11. That one-liner you just wrote should be the basis for a new constitutional amendment.
"We should never be subjected to offensive/annoying content on a machine we own delivered on bandwidth we pay for."

A-friggin-men to that.

13. Thanks, some Firefox add-ons make note of the OS. This one didn't. I'll give it a try.

6. I think it's safe to say...
...that anyone exposed to that ad despises it. Thankfully, I had to intentionally switch to IE to see it, and could switch back to Chrome and enjoy the relief of not witnessing such failure in advertising again.

8. That intrusive ad is the web equivalent of hijacking or home invasion.
I'll never buy their products again. That's a promise.

10. Can't stand it.
Hopefully it's a passing fad. Many more of them and "surfing" will be transformed into a slog through the swamp.
