I was hoping for adding a line to user.js . Oh were it only so simple. Over time, spec writers and developers have been giving browsers increasingly effective power to overpower users. Extensions are the only practical way to deal with the majority of such power. CSS controls only appearance. Scripts control most actions, "responsive design" CSS being the primary action exception. Other than mousetype, gray text, other hard to use colors, and content that rearranges itself when you resize a window that are imposed by CSS, actions (scripts) are responsible for most annoyances. CSS is the hardest user abuse to overcome without help from any extension. The extension NoScript disables scripts by default, and permits enabling per site either per session or indefinitely. I've been using it in SeaMonkey too long to remember. Ad blocking doesn't require a script, though the AdBlock extension is popular. The more egregious ad domains can be redirected to the bit bucket through use of your /etc/hosts file. I've been using it since before the name SeaMonkey replaced Mozilla Suite, and before Firefox 1.0. Many ads can be blocked using user CSS according to the image sizes they commonly use. http://fm.no-ip.com/Css/Share/adblock.css can be used as a starting point if you can't find better, called by importing via chrome/userContent.css in your SM profile. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
