You have made several good points, Riddler. You are very correct in the fact that we are not forced to look at ads, and I do appreciate that very much. Although I come to chordie mostly for my banjo and I haven't seen any ads for banjo products. I guess my biggest complaint isn't about chordie at all, it is about onefourfive.com because their practice is rude and inconsiderate. I get bugged anytime I go to an ad that 'holds me prisoner' as it were. I just find it rude, inconsiderate and unethical.

I appreciate your response and you are absolutely right. That is what I normally do, but I accidentally clicked on the ad. It is not a big deal to open it in a new window, it is simply a matter of including the tag TARGET = "_blank". I went back and noticed that several of the advertisers do in fact do that in their ads. I have only found the one ad that seems to be so annoying. If it weren't for the fact that I enjoy chordie so much, I would simply quit using it. I may just quit visiting ads instead, which would be unfortunate for chordie.

I understand that you need ads to support the site, but when I clicked on the onefourfive.com ad it would not let me get back to chordie.com. That is very rude! You might try having the ads open in a new window.
