Edited to add: One solution I found is to block Flash plugins on Chrome by visiting chrome://plugins although I'm not sure of the effect this will have on my wider internet use.

I cannot turn off / block ads on my work computer - I need to access these.
Come on FT - sort this out - this is ongoing, and my option is to NOT access FT at work - which means I will basically not be accessing FT at all.
Thank you for the reports and screen shots -- we've been having issues with UK based ad companies lately, and I have passed these along to Stephen who handles this. Hopefully we can put a stop to them.
