Is there a way to stop those bloody context ads in websites?

The ones where odd words in a paragraph are hyperlinked, and pop up a bloody ad if your pointer passes over one.

The firefox popup blocker handles things fairly well, usually, but these things piss me off no end.

NoScript? Possibly?

NoScript looks like it will do it.

Thanks mate.

Yep, NoScript... I've been running it for several years.

The first time I visited the Dennis sites with a browser without its capability, I was shocked at how poor the experience was!

+1, and R.I.P. for Firefox is also good if you find ads that take up too much screen space etc and you find yourself scrolling on sites you visit often - removes them completely :D

NoScript is a staple of Firefox users. I like it so much I've even donated to the cost of it.
