Bothers me enough that I'm a heavy user of filtering. Chop out the pop ups, smash the flash, de-animate the gif's, kill any java that moves shit, kill any links to dealtime/pricegrabber and the others of their ilk, block counters, crush cookies, pull session id's and referers out of links, stop scrollers, simplify style sheets, etc.
Then I make custom filters for places like overclockers (kill any table that contains a reference to the heatsink factory) and ebay (kill all the little paypal logos) and amdzone (completely remove the right and left colums) and on and on...
I freaks me out when I use a computer that does have all my filters - everything looks so strange.
