I've found that a lot of sites, including this one, are hell without ABP. For instance, the popup ads (well, in the same tab, but on top of the page) are a MAJOR pain when I'm viewing this from my phone - if I zoom in, the ad goes off screen. I have to hit a tiny target to close it. Or, with the mobile version, a little ad appears on the bottom of EVERY damn page and keeps moving as I scroll the page unless I close it! When I use Opera Mini (for those times I'm stuck with an EDGE connection), closing those ads means the whole page gets reloaded. (and, the ad stays in the exact same part of the page, not moving, blocking the same part of the article otherwise) I think I'll go through the process of rooting my phone and tweaking the hosts file JUST for this reason. That said, I don't mind the little banner ads at the top or side of the page. (particularly when they don't keep moving to stay in your face)
