Re: Other, unwanted intruders
I use SeaMonkey 2.0 with Adblock plus and NoScript. Both Add-ons do really, really well. NoScript has been doing most of the blocking and so on for me. On a side note, Lowend Mac seems to be the site I have the most problems with lately. ie. getting it to display properly. This is an issue with all my browsers and LEM. It's either everything is scrunched together or the Adds take up half the freakin' page. When I block the Add the whole half of the page it was covering is gone too. :P Talk about overkill!!! And when I use none in the style it finally displays OK but everything is all over the place. I know that's the way Dan does it, but I wish I could get it to load well or he'd just use something more compatible nearly all Mac web browsers could load properly at least. -Mike On Nov 26, 5:14 pm, Paul Stamsen pjs...@bresnan.net wrote: Previously, at 4:15 pm -0500 11/26/09, Dan wrote: Specific URLs, so we can look at 'em?
