I don't see it as a
good alternative to ads. Malware is malware, plain and simple.
I agree almost nothing can be worse than annoying autoplaying flash videos with audio. It's one of the worst forms of malware.
I've tried to avoid autoplaying videos by not upgrading my flash player so that Firefox doesn't start it automatically and I have to manually allow it to start. This often helps but many ads still autostart.
Another annoyance is videos that re-position themselves on-screen when you mute the sound and scroll them out of sight.
I suppose advertising does serve a purpose in that it lets you know what products to boycott, but at times it gets so infuriating that I want to actively badmouth the products.
Does anyone know of a good ad blocker that targets this annoying malware?
