Or you could do what I did and uninstall Flash. Seriously, it's not needed for most sites anymore and it has the upside of those automatic ads not starting in the first place.

I find that every banking site, every investment site, every insurance site, every licensing site and every site in which confidential information is disclosed does not work without flash installed and active. I have it set to demand-load in Chrome and there's about a 70% chance that everywhere I need to type a password will need to be reloaded with flash active to not give me a blank screen.

I agree 100%. This is just a slow, painful death.

Yeah. From what I here, it's been a long time coming too.
