I do not want myself distracted from material that has no bearing on what I am looking at.

Just to play devil's advocate, but wouldn't targetted ads be more preferable then, since they WOULD have a bearing on what you're looking at?

I'm all for targeted ads, when I am looking for products and/or services to buy.

99% of the time im on the internet, I am NOT going to buy stuff. I'm going to forums that I attend, getting email, working to help that ubuntu works better (by bug reports and fixes), and researching on more stuff that I can do in IT

And as we all know, there are absolutely no adverts to do with that.
