If you run Firefox (or any of the forks), run uBlock Origin. Many ads are malicious. If a site won't open or won't function properly because you're using an ad blocker, leave the site. It really is as simple as that.

@cmccullough good. I go a step further. I browse most pages in text, and unless the I really really need the site I ditch it if it insists on JavaScript to function.
@rootnode Yes! Good point!
