Annoying pop up AD in Times of India site

Post by theMan »

Times of India has this annoying Metro PCS Ad which is activated when one clicks on any news link. The screen is covered with a black background and the video is then played. The only option we have is to mute the volume.
Are there any pop up blocker that can fix this in Firefox browser?

I am trying to quit as well :)) .Anyhow, it is blocked on my office network, but at home I need to check some local news. Rediff is not that good either. Besides, I read it for entertainment value dished out by the amateur reporters.

Nowadays TOI provide more of this stuff and articles around romance more than news.
