Disable javascript and it works much better. I use the NoScript FF extension.
TinyURL on the other hand... Why would anyone ever use that? I never click on links unless I know where they link to. Here's a plan for abuse: 1: Discover browser 0-day exploit 2: Put up a gallery of FreeRunner pictures on a website 3: Point a tinyurl at the gallery 4: Wait until everyone's linked to it and is clicking it 5: Change gallery to 0-day exploit Or even easier: 1: Link to goatse. TinyURL takes all the best practice Internet guidlines you try and teach people and ruins them all. Can't stand it.
