Stupid walmart popup ad

Has anyone eles been getting this damn popup?
You don't have to click it. Just pass over it manuvering
around the page your on, and there it is again, jeeze,
and it almost covers the page. Very annoying to say
the least.

I was having the same problem with a local dealership ad last year. I was told get firefox with adblocker and I am sooooo glad I did. No problems at all since.

Well Ad Blocker Plus isn't Google born but yes you can customize it to block any ad, only on very rare occasions do I ever have to click on the ABP "stop sign" thingy and manually block unwanted ads/commercials.

With Firefox and ABP I NEVER have to click the ABP stopsign LOL! It is the only way to browse for me.

In fact, on certain "free" service websites that are funded by ads I have to disable the ABP in order to use the site. Usually I find another site, I don't like ads

I hate that stupid ad. It is placed on the page where it is hard to miss it. It is a pain.

For anyone that is computer illiterate, just follow the prompts:

Once you have downloaded Firefox onto your computer, go here to add on Add Block Plus:

Click that second link I posted above and get Add Block Plus as an add on while you're browsing from Firefox. That is what blocks all the ads.
