In this internet region flash top layers are still very common. And why Chrome has to have AdBlock? It won't gain market share without. Or rather without plugins, and where are plugins there AdBlock will be. BTW - AdBlock does not 'magically' removes advertising from webpages. You can apply some filters based on URLs. I do use AdBlock - when on any site I encounter annoying ad I consider 'leave and not return' policy :) or just add those ads to AdBlock if I can not live without site :) So maybe AdBlock is one of reasons that popups and top layers are in decline?

The annoying ads are the flash ones on non flash pages. And they are getting worse- obscuring the whole page. Google's flash ads in youtube vids- which require you to unblock. Toby is right.

Google makes its money from paid-search text ads on its own site. They are in effect *stronger* for having those other ads blocked, not weaker. This isn't cannibalization, its market consolidation.
