When I hit the "back" button on my browser, it turns out every URL in the history is the same as the URL of the page I'm on, so no only do the ads prevent me from scrolling down the page, but it breaks the back button as well.

I usually hit refresh a half dozen times until an ad which is not one of the offenders shows up. Any of the the ones that show a solid black rectangle with a little "ad choices" logo in the upper right, and often show some video ad, are bound to screw up your whole experience.
