About a month ago, I noticed that many webpages I visit now have a new and annoying form of web advertising embedded in the actual text of the articles I read. If you accidently mouse over a word in the text, an ad pops up. In addition to the annoyance factor, it's also ugly; it really wrecks the aesthetic "integrity" of the websites that it contaminates. Is there any way to block this type of advertising?
