Ban Forbes.com
Please ban Forbes.com from all news headlines. They have banned adblocking technology, and the moment you turn it off, you are subjected with malware onslaught. AdBlocking may reduce possible revenue for a site, but there are many reasons for its use:
1. Protection from popup and malware clickbait (or false upgrades that lead to trojans). Not all sites can be trusted to test their advertisement purchasers banners, and so this can lead to neglectful destruction of people's computers and/or lives (from identity/credit theft).
2. Bandwidth protection....ad banners are unnecessary waste of network traffic and is the primary cause of backbone slowdown. I understand that companies would like to find a way to pay for their sites, but forcing ads onto people is not the way to do it. A simple link in the side that says "support us by watching this ad" is a better option than giving people malware.

Hmm I am using Ghostery and I can use Forbes. You just have to give them a few links like Facebook connect.
