Use FIREFOX.

Get ADBLOCK.

I can't understand why anyone in this day and age is putting up with this nonsense!

I don't see flashing advertisements (because I select the option in Firefox Adblock that blocks the standard advertisers). I don't see any of the sister-site ads at the top of the page (because I tailor Adblock to block any images I don't want to look at, that are just ugly and take up room on my monitor).

It couldn't be easier.
