Atlanta, GA | Ads? what Ads? I use Firefox with Adblock Plus exclusively and encourage others to do the same. (I'll use Chrome and/or IE only when viable ad blocking technologies arrive for them.) I never see ads. Never. They can track all they want. I don't like it, but I don't have to participate in it. I don't see their ads and I wouldn't ever click on ads simply as a matter of policy. If everyone would practice this, maybe they'd find some other way to try to sell their crap. |

Can't speak for Chrome, but you can get a free ad blocker for IE here:
»www.ie7pro.com/
It does more than just ad blocking, but I turn off the other features in preferences and just leave ad blocking on. It has worked for me with IE7 & IE8.

Atlanta, GA | Yeah, having to download and install a piece of software that does 89 distinct things (and then manually disabling 88 of them) is not my idea of a viable ad-blocking technology! (but thanks for the info!) |

Never. There's some sites, I've encountered, that AdBlock doesn't work 100% on. They seem to embed some things such that AdBlock doesn't have any effect.
