Try Proxomitron (at http://www.proxomitron.org/). ============= So, what the heck is a Proxomitron anyway? Have you ever wished you could turn off some of those fancy new HTML features your web browser supports? Are you tired of pages filled to the brim with blinking banners, pop-up windows, and other such aggravations? Enter The Proxomitron, Re-Writing the web Your way... Using special HTML filters, the Proxomitron can transform web pages on the fly - changing most anything you wish. Speed your browsing by saying goodbye to slow loading cyber spam and other web-gimmickry. Customize pages to suit your tastes. Take control of your web viewing, and don't be slave to some web-master's whims. It works with most any browser (not just the big two) and, for starters, can do the following keen things... Stop or limit Pop-up windows Control MIDI music and other sounds Freeze animated .GIFs - load only the first frame Kill most all advertising banners Stop Web-Branding and other scripts added by web space providers Stop Pop-up alert/confirm boxes Remove slow web counters Stop web pages and ads from "auto-refreshing" Remove Dynamic HTML Prevent getting stuck in someone's frames Remove frames or tables altogether for that matter Kill or change selected Java scripts and applets Add your own scripts to pages! Remove or replace web page and/or table background images Stop Status bar scrollers Unhide URLs obscured by status line text Convert blinking text to bold Remove Layers and Style sheets Automatically re-write or redirect URLs Create lists of sites to block or allow Create similar lists for just about anything else And as they say, much, much more... All features can be individually toggled on and off, or limited to specific sites. Better yet, it's just a taste of what the many included filtering rules can do. You have the freedom to modify the rules or create new, equally powerful, rules of your own! You can add filters or complete configurations created by other Proxomitron users for an ever expaning array of tasks. ============= Cheers, Terry. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/proteledaforum@techservinc.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
