Hi Jon, That's a nice script, but I personally feel that since using the hosts file to magically block advertising is a bit of a hack, this shouldn't really go into a base fish install. To me, this seems to be exactly the kind of clever hack that should go into the fish wiki. If anyone feels differently, please speak up. -- Axel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
