New ads making multiple back clicks required?

Just today I noticed that when I go "back" in the browser, I'm having to do it multiple times. It could be my browser (Chrome), but it's never done this before. It's almost like there are some ads that are messing with the browser history.

Anyone else seeing this?

ETA: I just checked in IE8, and other than being slow (since IE sucks), it doesn't seem to be exhibiting this behavior.

goofygrin - I use chrome also, and I do notice from time to time that chrome will have a problem with some of the adds. I havent specifically noticed your issue, but often I have to refresh to get the page to load, and the status shows "waiting on ad ...... some ad... "

We don't use ads.

Firefox can block all the sidebar and banner ads.

I dislike the footprint and lack of memory management skills by the firefox developers, so I refuse to use it.

Firefox = written by script kiddies.

I've had the same problem, but it's only affecting Chrome. Use the report feature to make google aware, make sure you mention what ad it is (if you know.)
