Depends on the ad - if it's excessively irritating or intrusive absolutely.
To the point where I'll boycott entire stores if an ad pisses me off too much.

It's bad enough that I'm considering completely dropping Google despite the inadequacy of DuckDuckGo and the fact I've had the same Gmail address since university.
