I don't know about the noisy ads. I use mozilla firefox web browser and use ad block. I don't ever get any ads (even regular ones). Once you download mozilla and add on the adblock, you right click on the ad and click the second from the bottom choice and it won't popup again. Try it out.

In regard to HIMR, for me its all or none. Yes it is very frustrating but all we can do now is hope there is a plan.

Hopefully this time next year we will look back and laugh.
Have a nice weekend.
