It may or may not go without saying that this Salon.com issue,
ad-blocking issues, and a whole mess of other nonsense is easily
dispatched by GreaseMonkey:

GreaseMonkey's a swell way to polish your Javascript skills, learn
about the DOM, and maybe fix the excesses of your company's intranet
for individual users.

We might consider, as well, that just about any X/HTML-based content
(including WebHelp) consumed using an HTTP user-agent is ultimately
reconfigurable by users -- especially users acting in concert.

Welcome to the future. Which is, uhh, now.
