How do I freeze all those annoying wiggly jiggly online adverts?

Like on Facebook, or on articles that link from Facebook, or even below the box I'm writing this question on!

I get it that these adverts are competing for our attention, but they utterly fail in their objective because they annoy me so much I'd never buy from them.

I also get it that advertising pays for much of the online content we see. Yahoo Answers is almost ruined by the amount of adverts on it, for example. Commercial TV (in the UK) is now a waste of time, 6 minutes of adverts per 10 minutes of programme, but that's a different matter.

I just want to stop all these damned annoying adverts wiggling & jiggling about & distracting me.

Any suggestions for how to kill them, block them, or just freeze them? Anything to stop them being so damned intrusive & irritating & distracting?

Thanks for any suggestions.

    many of those ads are triggered by cookies buried somewhere in YOUR HDD, so give it a good cleaning and see if that helps ..........................
