Shockwave Ads

So I was having some trouble with shockwave advertisements, cause every time I went to a page where they had chosen to use this particularly unfortunate brand of advertisement, Firefox would commit suicide and I would have to force quit. This was quite the lamentable situation, cause I was seriously considering chucking firefox and sticking with safari, simply cos it didn’t seem to be having this problem, but then i did a little search and found this: Blocking Ads in Firefox. So nice. You can do so much with this! I actually recommend that everyone should use this if they hate ads… One particularly bad culprit was the new allmusic.com, which seemed to hose my comp every time… now I can browse in peace. Yay!

    yeah, this is even better, though, cause it’s code that blocks banner ads.
