Don't know about the rest of you, but after som years of surfing, banner ads are starting to hit my blind spot on my eye. I hardly notice what the banners are trying to tell me unless they occupy at least 75% of my screen:-) Mozilla has a nice option to prevent Javascript for opening windows too:-P
