adds on all internet videos

[clydefrand]

Any one figured out how to prevent having to watch (ignore) advertisements for every video you want to watch. Half the time, while I stare at the wall during the ads, I've forgotten what it was I wanted to watch, so I just return and go on reading something else. I wish they would at least give the change to 'close' the add, or 'go to video' option.
And I thought TV was getting bad:ban ghead:

1. I hate them too, but

I figure that everyone needs money to live, so it isn't really fair of me to begrudge them selling ads. I just leave the speakers on mute until the ad is done. I am so appreciative of the net and all the access to the information available here, that I can't get too upset over my having to "pay" for some of the content by watching an ad. It isn't like any ad has ever made me jump up and run to buy something.

3. I use google chrom and there is an ad blocker on it. I bet IE has it too.

4. Click the video you want to watch then mute

then in another tab, read or watch something else for 60 seconds. Back to the first tab, restart and un-mute.
