However, big gaudy ad-banners with animated gifs or flash only act to encourage me to use things like AdBlock, or avoid the site altogether.The solution is to modify your ad posting procedure to find the balance between getting the revenue you need for your site and not driving away your visitors. Throwing a fit when they circumvent your poor design will only cause more problems than it solves.

I block pop-ups. If your pop-up has an ad, I didn't get to see how great you think your product/service is. You can have all the ads you want, they don't bother me at all. And, I'm "partial" to FireFox, but I use IE as well ... depends on what I'm doing and where I'm at :) I don’t block ads, per se. I block pop-ups.
