Interstitials - on mobile! (Score:4, Insightful)
In some cases I can deal with interstitials, but not on mobile browsers. I suppose the content hoster got their ad-view, but half the time they malfunction to the point of completely breaking the page content, or not being dismissible!

Hell, I disable javascript on most sites to avoid the comments. Reading internet comments on anything but a specialty site is more punishment than the ads.
Noteworthy Omission (Score:4, Insightful)
Ads that interpret a "close" action as "user clicked on the ad".
This seems to happen with ads that hover over the content and require that one click a "close" box (either with the word "close" or with an "X" -- this isn't a pop-up with the standard browser close-window icon).

I had not seen the internet unfiltered for so long I was aghast at the number of ads on pages I go to all the time.
I forgot how much the internet sucks....!
The creator of adblock should be Canonized, for he is truly a saint.

I've found (coincidentally, really) that Ghostery disables comments/user reviews/etc. on a lot of sites that use generic discussion services like disqus (sp?), etc., and redirecting facebook and its assorted aliases to 0.0.0.0 pretty much frees me from almost all "user-generated" content. The amount of ill-conceived, illiterate, incomprehensible and ignorant interaction this has spared me is incalculable.

How about "Adds that look like a download link on file hosting websites". Trying to download files without adblock is like a puzzle game... only one button does what you want and there's little if anything to distinguish between it and the numerous (and probably malware filled) fakes.
