To be fair, it's the ad serving service that Forbes uses that's at fault, but Forbes needs to get on their case.
This is also EXACTLY why you DO want to use an ad-blocker.

Used it on Firefox and it works fine. I do like to read Forbes articles on occasion.

Thanks for the link. I've flat out refused to read articles from websites that block adblock. I know that they use ads for revenue but don't pop up a much of autoplay ads on my browser and expect me not to use an adblocker. I've been to websites where an ad in the sidebar would refuse to let me scroll down the page. I'm okay with non-animated banner ads but I should have to wait for an ad to load to read content.
