Cookies

Run Adblock etc. Ads may fund a lot of the web but far too many are horribly intrusive. If the site says it wants you to disable the adblocker but still works then just ignore the message. If it won't work and you still want to look at it (relatively rare) then use another browser for those sites.

I run Firefox with Adblock+ and Ghostery. Also I block all 3rd party cookies. If I need to use a site that objects to all this (some legit theatre booking sites have a problem) I simply copy and paste the URL into Chrome which I run more or less "as is". I routinely clear all cookies in Chrome.
