If you move the layout within the first couple seconds to place an ad where something else just was to cheat a click on an ad in, I don't tolerate that. If I am interested in an ad, I will click on it. If I go to click somewhere and the page layout changes, I stop visiting that website. Oh, and pages that load in a way that moves content around. Also pages that are more ads than content (looking at you, PC Gamer). If a website mandates these, I don't visit it. Pop-up ads, ones that play sound (either automatically, or on hover), or video ads are things I don't tolerate. The day it stops working there is the day I stop watching non-embedded Youtube videos. Other than when I watch a video from a website where I have Adblock plus disabled, I have never seen a single ad on Youtube, and it is wonderful. Some time later (I can't remember when, but it was still in the pre-Windows 7 days), I started using AdBlock Plus with it. I've been using it ever since, so apparently I've been using it for over 18 years now. I figured rather than opening Notepad or whatever to save posts in, I'd just try the browser called Firefox everyone was raving about. Guess what? The annoying part was, whenever it crashed, it also cleared the contents of the clipboard for some reason. After it had done it a number of times, I started copying any post that wasn't real short into the clipboard before posting in case it had crashed. I started using Firefox before the 1.0 release in the Windows XP days, because Internet Explorer crashed one too many times whenever trying to post to forums.
