Can we have no more interactive advertisements on your site, please Saint?

The last one crashed my PC.

I'm all for revenue, but not at the cost of productivity.

Thanks

I don't specify the ads, it's whatever Google Ads populates in that ad space. That said, if there's a problematic ad, I can put it on a black list. Do you recall what URL/company the ad was for?

Log Me In.  Sounds rather dubious.  What happened to your Arcade merchants who used to advertise?

Dunno. You don't get to choose your advertisers, you just have some control over excluding ads you don't want.

I've noticed that the ads are generally for other stuff I've been looking up, mostly audio equipment and musical gear.

Yeah, what eds1275 said.  I've actually clicked through an ad recently since it was related to something I'd been looking at recently.  Damn ad cookies!
