I said "nope" but I do have a popup blocker but I don't think that is the same thing?
I don't think it has ever blocked a popup on weddingbee though, it alerts me when it does.
Nope, but I don't have any at all... it's never been a problem for me, most of the sites I go to don't have obnoxious advertising. In fact, I think the only one that has pop-ups is time.com. Odd!
No, IIRC chrome extensions don't work in incognito mode. I'm pretty hardcore in regular Chrome and Firefox, especially toward flash-based advertisements, so they would probably be blocked if I weren't ashamed of my addiction... >.>
It's not a problem, though, WB doesn't have those obnoxious intrusive ads that take up your page and randomly start yelling/screaming/singing/shilling crap. At least not that I've noticed for the latter, as I tend to browse with my speakers muted.
Random, unrequested and intrusive advertising makes me angry. I guess that's why I stopped watching TV. It's one thing for regularly scheduled commercials, but then they started with the popovers and cut-ins and hey-I-was-watching-that-and-I-missed-what-he-said-you-jerks!...
Yup, I have an adblocker on firefox, so it gets used for everything--I don't turn it on or off. I feel bad that webpages are missing advertising money because I've blocked the ads on their page, but honestly, I'm not gonna turn off my adblocker--too much effort to remember to do so, plus I hate looking at ads. I just recently got on weddingbee on another machine that didn't have an adblocker and was shocked to see all the ads!
Nope, no adblocker on my computer. I don't mind the WeddingBee ads.
Oh yes. Definitely yes. I can't stand ads and will do anything in my power to block them. No exceptions for WB. :(
I don't think I'm blocking anything on Weddingbee, but I've also never seen any pop-ups. So far, the advertising has been helpful/unobtrusive and I wouldn't see the need for any adblocker.
I've considered it, especially when the site loads so slowly and it's always the ads! That gets annoying after a couple threads...
The weddingbee pages have been loading slower than usual lately, and it seems to be the ads that are holding it up - if this trend continues I will be using an ad blocker.
I don't use one. I don't mind the ads here, and I've actually clicked one here and there. I'm on a wedding site, so wedding related advertisements are acceptable to me.
I don't have an ad blocker; however, on principle, I wouldn't use it anyway for a site like this. On the free community sites where I am a member, I make a point to click an (innocuous) ad every few days anyway. I mean, I am going to window shop at J. Crew anyway; I may as well get there through the Bee! Basically, I am under the impression that it helps keep the site going, yes?
Have to second the last two opinions--if it keeps going slower and slower, I'd be more apt to use an ad blocker.
I don't use one. The ads don't really bother me too much and I click on them every once in a while.
I don't use one ever, but I wouldn't on Weddingbee anyway because I actually like the ads!
Yup. Not out of spite to the 'Bee, but because it's built into my browser now. I use a CSS that catches most of them. And, frankly, I'm so spoiled now that I hate looking at ads on any websites!
Nope! I actually like the ads on WB - I frequently check them out and have found some great stuff through some of them!
Nope, because I know that the ads help support the wonderful world that is Weddingbee. I actually use 'em sometimes, as well.
I use an ad blocker, only because the boyfriend demanded I do so. Previously I never minded the ads on the 'bee though, even clicked on a few. And honestly, I don't know how to turn it off, so that wouldn't be an option!
Edit: A ha! I have discovered how to disable and turned it off for weddingbee.com and boards.weddingbee.com. 
I browse the internet with Firefox's Ad Block Plus. I haven't seen an ad online in about a year and a half. I would never go back. Sorry Mr. Bee, but I surely do not want to take an extra step to turn off my adblocker just to see ads on WB!
LittlestBirds - If you're interested, you can apparently disable for certain sites. Just click on the red stop sign-like ABP symbol on the top right corner of your browser and click on "Disable on weddingbee.com."
I don't have an adblocker! The ads don't bother me, and WB always loads really fast for me unless I have 20 tabs open on Firefox. Occasionally I find that that I actually click on!
I don't have one, and usually WB loads pretty quickly for me so it's not an issue.
My Firefox has an adblocker. I'm sorry to say that it's too much hassle to turn it on and off and I would forget to do it anyway.
i use peerblock 1.0 in my computer but allow wedding bee page... but i do use blocker on a lot of websites because im a little freak out by the idea of big brother watching
i have a popup blocker.
i dont mind the static ads but the ones that move that are usually first in the upper right hand side of the page are kinda annoying. but eh.
at work the ads are blocked though - no control over that.
I tried unblocking the ads (I hadn't realized you could unblock a single page--I like that option) and the one at the top with moving stuff is way too irritating! Sorry weddingbee, no ads for me! If they were static, I might be willing to unblock (maybe--I still hate ads).
I put yes, but i do it because of other sites. I dont mind the ads on this website because they are appropriate.
I siad other...because I didn't know that was an option. I wouldn't turn them off, I usually don't look at them, though. online ads make me nervous. No offense!
i would love to turn them off actually.... they drive me bonkers, but i understand the reason and am okay with it... heck i even have ads on my own blog!!
I think what alot of people fail to understand is that ads are what keep the site going- its how you pay for administration, severs, and the like. By blocking the ads on WB, you basically are taking a service for free without helping to pay for it at any monetary cost to you. Multiply that by a thousand and some websites couldn't afford to run anymore.
@KM-that's why I don't turn them off. There are just some online ads that look sketchy and I ignore them = )

I was surprised to hear a few people mention that they use an adblocker on Weddingbee... doh!
Do you use an ad blocker on Weddingbee? I'm curious: why or why not? And would you consider turning your adblocker off, just while you're on Weddingbee?
