Damned ads on DU! - If you accidentally click one it traps you on their page
and you have to kill your browser and restart.

These kind of ads should NOT be accepted here.

:argh:

1. If you give a little money to DU...
You then have the option of turning off those ads...

Try it...it works!

6. I had no intention of clicking on the button in the first place.
eye hand coordination hiccup.. :)

If I opened it in FF, Ad blocker would have hidden it in the first place.

Use FireFox, install AdBlock, choose a block list and BAM! They're all gone!
Easy, and free.
