    Awesome list! I’m seriously in favor of #3 and #18. In fact, for #18, can we also include video ads (any videos, really) set to auto-play? Especially if they’re way down the page and you have to scroll down on every single tab you have open in order to find them and make them shut up?

    And #5? Yes, please! I can’t begin to count the ways in which I loathe that song…
