adblock I use it and it sucks ass.
Problem is that it downloads the ad first, then it hides it. If you're trying to be all stealth what with the ad servers, you're S.O.L. The only browser that gets it right is omniweb. user defined perl paterns filtering that stuff out and not actually downloading it. Adblock sucks ass. If you're not using omni, have a blacklisting hosts file or something fancy like what Lorin posted. Otherwise you're still bending over for big advert bro. tack On Thu, 19 Feb 2004, Erik Curiel wrote: > > I just use Adblock, an extension for mozilla/firefox.
