You can use the Firefox FlashBlock extension which blocks all flash objects, and allows you to run only the ones you want. xpi-noscript is even better IMHO. Blocks flash, javascript and all forms of embedded media. Will remember the sites where you *do* want that stuff, or it will let you turn it on temporarily. It's in ports: www/xpi-noscript Not guaranteed to block every advert, but the ones it does let through will be relatively inoffensive.

Firefox plugins from Ports [was Re: question about gnash or kde-gnash]

But my main reason to responding to this post is because I'm wondering what the pros and cons are of installing Firefox plugins from the Ports tree, versus installing them directly from within Firefox itself. I assume that plugins installed from Ports are activated for all users and cannot be disabled by the user, unless they run pkg_delete. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There *are* a few sites that firefox interpreted as advertising that helped me design custom T-shirt logos, caps, sweatshirts, c! Undo-ing that Adblock was a further exercise in learning _prudence_. :-) gary Cheers, Matthew ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
question about gnash or kde-gnash
Hi people, For several years I've been grumblish about us open-src folks not having flash (and whatever toys come with the package. A lot of web site require (or insist that the require the latest flash. Long-story-short -- and I nay be wrong about this -- but it seems that the main use of flash is for animated ads. When I recently began portupgrding stuff, I found my 2.4Gh/1G RAM desktop almost brought to a stop. top showed the kde-gnash was one culprit; so: Is there a way of turning these animated ads off? firefox is the best browser, but had no tts builtin, and having builr kttsd and other speech apps, I usually use Konqueror. I'd feel real warm+funny nuking the ads that churn my uprocessor. gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
