First there were pop-up ads, but ad-blockers have helped clear those up for the most part. However, now there are hover ads taking over the Internet. Hover ads are essentially pop-ups that appear after your mouse goes over a particular word or phrase on a web page. There is nothing worse than reading an article and then having a hover ad jump out at you, especially when they don't disappear when you move your mouse away from the trigger word(s). You can always "X" out of these kind, but still... In all honesty, I don't even look at what the ads say; I try to get them out of my way as fast as I can.
The better solution are those other new pop-up ads that take up space at the bottom of a web page. Not only can you get rid of them quickly or ignore them easier, but you don't have to worry about hover ads jumping out at you throughout the page (from what I've noticed, anyway).
I can't wait until they make a hover ad blocker. If I want to see where a freaking link leads, I'll click on it myself.
This has been my rant of the day. Thank you.
