On most other industry news sites, my computer falls under immediate attack from malware and ads and worthless flash which covers the page. its Worst than even dirty sites!! Sounds start playing, a garbage instantly moves on top of the link I wished. Thank you codeproject for having a clean page, not a shockwave flash trap of computer death.

I'm always bang-on at deciding when to open sites in IE. Never.

Do NOT do this. This is stealing content without giving them the advertising revenue they need to survive as a business. It is no different than torrenting CD.
After your very usefull replies like :thumbsdown: or :thumbsdown: or even :thumbsdown: i guess you are a website programmer that spams the client with all that bullish. Get over it, nobody wants to be annoyed by stupid and vulnerable ads that trash your pc.

Flashblock, AdBlock Plus and some sites in hosts... I rarely see ads anymore, even in YouTube videos. Hosts is for the crappy sites sponsorised by Google, such as ask and softonic.

Ah, so now I'm a thief? :) Let us be clear; it is my PC, I pay for the electricity, I decide what the damn machine does. I never gave any website owner the permission to load third-party crap that they do not take responsibility for. As for the revenue, that is not just coming from ads - and those tracking-cookies will not be around permanently either.

According to the law it is different.

My bandwidth, my PC, my time. Ads steal all of them, plus the malware they often try to install. Keeping thieves out is very well in my rights.

Actually, using a hosts block is very different. If CNN really wants me to see an ad, then they need to host it on cnn.com. If cnn.com is trying to display something from ShadyNetwork.cx, then they deserve to get their crap blocked. They made this bed, now they get to lie in it. Of course, it will never happen because if CNN is hosting an ad on cnn.com and I get malware from it, then CNN is financially liable. The third party ad network not only reduces a small but not insignificant amount of bandwidth for them, but it shields them from legal liability when ads go wrong. I don't know the statistics on the situation, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that ad networks were the #1 vector for malware infections.

Is that what they told you? Well, don't come crying to me, when they send you the bill.
