      Hey, I use to be an ad-woman, they were my bread and butter – I dont want to block ads. I just want certain amount of usability and sensibility to prevail. I very much like the chikita mini malls, they are useful and not at all annoying.
      However, thanks for your adblock. I might not use it but I am sure many more peole will.

      P.S – How’s your hand now – hope you are taking care.

        That’s where RIP rocks … For example, if you were reading planet.foss.in and wanted to RIP out my me soul searching, add this to your RIP.

        //div[starts-with(a/@href , ‘http://t3.dotgnu.info/blog/me/’)]

        The entire text of the entry – just disappears. All you need to do to RIP out such css floaters is to the find the class/id of the div and just write such a pattern. You can rip out whatever actually annoys you really badly.

        Btw, the linked adblock was compiled for my sister – she’s on dialup.

  1. You must install the Flashblock extension to Firefox. This makes it so that embedded flash animations on web sites do not start playing automatically. the user has to click on the flash button to make them start playing.

    Also, you must edit your userContent.css. I have not seen very many ads over the last 2 years thanks to this nifty hack.

    1. See my reply above. I hate to block ads, infact I click on them if they are relevant and useful to me. What I hate is utter incompetence on someone’s part. I am sure this must not be so bothersome on alternative browsers 😉

      1. Could be the browser.

        You should have tried with another browser. For instance I see flash ads taking up one corner of the windows in opera. Switch to FF and it goes away.

        It *could* be the browser being bad you know!
