What is your video card? Does the problem happens with hardware acceleration disabled?
AMD Radeon 7700 with the latest drivers; issue happens with hardware acceleration enabled or disabled. I've tested five browsers total on this computer and only Opera exhibits this issue.

I have the same problem. Any link (like an facebook email with a button to see a post), lags the mouse. It doesn´t need to be an ad.

Press the down button on your keyboard to scroll at a constant speed and compare the smoothness when the mouse pointer is not over the links to when it is and you move it up and down quickly (basically, making that box below with the url preview quickly and repeatedly appear and disappear).

I noticed that Chrome and Firefox don't display that url preview box while scrolling, and IE either uses a more lightweight algorithm for that fade in/fade out, or just does that in a thread other than the one that handles the page render.

It displayed fast here. No delay at all. I do have a pretty decent system though so maybe it's just a horsepower issue for slower systems?

Well, just holdin' mouse cursor over links area doesn't make scroll stutter, but 'swinging' mouse from neutral area (left side) to links and back makes clear smoothness problems. Same in private window, thus no problems with extensions. O43dev, W10, Intel video.

Certainly not (only) horsepower issue, when other browsers and especially Chrome do not suffer. There must be some (unneeded or badly implemented) internal operation outside page rendering (can be related to displaying url box - of course I can't know, just guess), which locks interface up for some tens of precious milliseconds.
