Re: Hosts file Drew Stainton31-Jul-05 8:33 Drew Stainton 31-Jul-05 8:33  I use the one located Here[^]. It's updated pretty regularly. Cheers, Drew. Re: Hosts file Blake Miller1-Aug-05 7:39 Blake Miller 1-Aug-05 7:39  That is great, thanks Firefox -Dy24-Jul-05 22:39 -Dy 24-Jul-05 22:39  I tend to block ad's, just how I am. I really like the feature you get in firefox, where you can right click an image and say "Block Images from abc.xyz.com". Fantastic! The only short coming is sites like this one, I can't block the ad's here as it will block all images from CP (also, I use the ad's here, they tend to be of things I'm interested in) I also use Firefox Flashblock extention - great for stopping flash content, which is generally advertising on the sites I visit. -Dy Re: Firefox thomminator25-Jul-05 21:45 thomminator 25-Jul-05 21:45  he's talking about adblock. Re: Firefox PedroMC27-Jul-05 5:04 PedroMC 27-Jul-05 5:04  Fantastic browser! Popups?! What is that? I use a caching proxy for my network so I tend to centralize the filtering at the proxy level. Ads are one of the things I filter out.

If ads are placed right in the text, or blinking so fast that I cannot read the site's content, I just leave the page and search for a readable alternative. I think that is what the webmasters want. Annoying advertisement-terror is a non verbal version of "go away, I don't want you to read my page". Alright, no problem, I don't have to read it. _________________________________ Please inform me about my English mistakes, as I'm still trying to learn your language!

Don't you agree that it would be enough to block ads on every site? _________________________________ Please inform me about my English mistakes, as I'm still trying to learn your language!

If the rest of the site is readable, it's okay. _________________________________ Please inform me about my English mistakes, as I'm still trying to learn your language! Re: Don't need it toxcct25-Jul-05 20:30 toxcct 25-Jul-05 20:30  FF is great, but what i find annoying is that some pages are bad displayed... of course, it doesn't change the content, but can lose readability (indentation for example). anyway, i use my firewall functionnality to block ads, and it's enough too.
