You mean you have to deal with pop-ups and ads? Oh my poor lad. Too bad an "Adblock" plugin hasn't been written for internet explorer. Because here I am with FireFox, and when ever I want to block an add, I right-click it and hit "Block all Ads from this site", and *WHAM*... all gone.

the_short1 · **Posted:** Sat Jul 10, 2004 8:03 pm

hell no... i use firefox... and b4 i knew of firefox... i used AddKiller by Buypin (100% free) wicked pop up stoper....

still.. i used IE for hotmail... (because MSN opens Ie by default even thought firefox is DEFAULT internet borwser)

stupid M$... but w/e now days i use my hotmail accounts less and less (only to check if someone emailed me there by acident..)

i blocked all the hotmail ads Very Happy

it looks so nice.. except for those stupid flash ads, i can't get rid of them!

Mazer · **Posted:** Sun Jul 11, 2004 11:44 am

There's an extension for firefox which I believe prevents all flash animations from playing unless you click on them and allow them to run.

AdBlock even adds a little tab on the side of flash animations, so if you want to block them, all you do is click the little ranslucent add and it dissapears and re-arranges the site's layout so that it looks good. Wink
