Java and Javascript things can dominate a screen display. And don't get me started on some of the dynamic realplayer junk. Then there is forcing music on me that I don't care to hear. In 3.2 you have control over everything very easily. Now you have to be a hacker to just get control over your own screen display.

don't get me wrong, some of the screens are really slick and really well done but a lot of them are crap and take 10 times as long to load. Active X, et. al. CSS is the tip but the whole philosophy of web browsing has changed from information display to fancy display but who cares about the information so long as it looks pretty.
