I was browsing www.arcadeathome.com for some emulation goodies, but when I try to access the interesting parts of the site I get an error page instead:
"We've determined you're using popup blocking software."
"This site is protected by AntiAdBlocker™ v1.01. Regain control of lost impressions and high bandwidth costs with AntiAdBlocker™"
To be more precise I'm using Mozilla, and have it set up to block evil little scripts. Banner ads I can take, but pop-ups I can't. I've never, ever clicked on a pop-up advert, but I have quite frequently used banner adverts. Pop-ups, or those horrible flash spread-overs, just annoy me, and I spit on companies that use them.
Grrr.

That doesn't bother me as they can only change my browser settings...as far as I know.
I'd be annoyed of having to switch it back on to view rollover scripts properly..etc.

Why would that be? It's a couple of clicks to re-enable it again.
I mean, are you happy with random webpages being able to run unsigned code without your knowledge and not be able to stop them unti it's too late?

You disabled Javascript? thats not good surely?
Fair enough.
I just went to a different site. That'll learn 'em.
Yeah, I got that once. Just disabling JavaScript altogether got round it.
next they'll be telling you when to go to toilet etc etc etc
