*Anything* (even M$?) is better than supporting the cursed
adware concept.  Think of these little ads as roaches that
scitter and scatter about the page while you try to get real
work done.  Would you want roaches in your kitchen while you
were cooking?

Oh no! Gawd they're everywhere ... aghhh, nooooooooooooooooo....
