Make websites Student Friendly

The annoying adverts that move and jump and promise that you have won (!) a free iPad aren't student friendly.  Although many can mentally block the ads, there are students who need a cleaner page. Getting rid of the ads is one solution.

Would you like to give ads the heave-ho? Compare these three screen shots from Gizmodo. The first is the site with ads, the second is the same site using Komando, and the third is the site using adblocker:
