I don't get invasive ads. I usually only get a pop up or two per week (encompassing all my browsing). I've never seen a pop up on this site.

what browser do you use?

There are a number of pretty invasive ads on this site that suck. Redirects are the most annoying, followed by the talking ads.

As a web developer myself, I understand a lot of sites support themselves from ad impressions, so I never use adblockers. But when they start becoming really invasive, I feel like there's little recourse but to start blocking them.
