Yet another reason IE is one of the worst browsers to use. ActiveX is what those sites use to install stuff. I know people who ask me how they get viruses on their computers. They tell me that they never download them. Sometimes it's hard to explain that you can't browse the Internet without downloading anything.

As for the poll: I accidently clicked that gbaemu (whatever it's called). Stupid laptop. I'd have to say the most annoying site I've encountered is goatse. Too bad the main site was shut down, really. Even though I hate that pic, it was nice being able to block the images from just one site, and not block the image from hundreds of mirrors. (Maybe I should just ditch those sites that post them )

- Rom sites that don't have actual roms on them.
- Any site on Geocities or another of those ubiquitous and well-known free hosts.
- Sites that were last updated in 1996 with EVERY link on them broken.
- Sites where three or four pop-up ads appear at the same time.
- Sites that say "You must download the latest Flash/browser plugin/virus to view this website." DON'T USE FLASH, YOU MORONS. HTML was invented for a reason, as were scripting languages that DON'T require browser plugins.

There are also people who like to fake security certificates from some required IE desktop objects or plugins to view their pages correctly; though they install a backdoor or change the search and homepage as posted above ...
Using another browser than IE helps a lot here; and who allows ActiveX and other script running without asking the user just should be moved from the computer

Also weird are common very noticeable domains which provide content, which is paid by installing a dialer ... on the other hand, you can get the same content legally on just another page for free

Gamefaqs is one of the least annoying sites. As long you don't visit the boards...

Uh, they have no pop-up ads. Sure the game apperas as pop-ups. But that's all pop-ups that appear there.

Neopets is one of the few sites I have unblocked pop-ups on.

I hate completely abandoned websites that have never been updated, have nothing to do with what you are searching for, and/or have a "Large content coming soon" display.
