Most people use [RSS feeds](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rss?ref=skatter.com) with a RSS client (ex: [Thunderbird](http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/?ref=skatter.com)) to avoid needing go to webpages each time, and also to avoid popups and ads. Even people using [Firefox](http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox?ref=skatter.com) were able to block ads by using [Adblock](http://adblock.mozdev.org/?ref=skatter.com), while viewing RSS feeds. But now Google has figured out a way to place ads into RSS feeds, and have given the option to blog publishers to add these feature into their feeds. As a result most of the feeds major websites have placed Google ads in the bottom of their articles. I just hope someone makes an adblock extension for Thunderbird.
