Popup blocking is fine, but the popups are getting more sophisticated nowadays. Most are being switched to 'event generated', like being opened on a click and not page load/unload.
AdBlock can't block the annoying Lycos ads they force on the free sites they host. I leave my Norton Personal Firewall to block those annoying ads, banners, and other flash ads. AdBlock didn't do much. Also, check out "NukeAnything" as a FireFox extension- it literally "nukes" it. (It removes the object from the page.)'RyanThaDude29 wrote:firefox + adblock = hard_to_beat
I think I'll stick with IE. After a discussion with Tony Chor about IE at Channel9 and the fact that the IE team is taking suggestions right now:Roberdin wrote:www.mozilla.com/products/firefox/.
New skin looks great, and the new method of managing extensions and themes is a good improvement. If you are still using Internet Explorer (why????) then this is a good time to swap.
Ace... wait for vapourware which is at least 1.5 years away and may or may not fix the issues which have dogged IE for over 6 years now, yet there are over half a dozen alternate browsers which are standards compliant to the point of anally retentive.Shining Arcanine wrote: I think I'll stick with IE.

I'm positive that IE7 in Longhorn will be great.
Hmm I haven't experienced any incompatibilities with LF or EB yet, using FireFox. Pages load up faster though, and that helps with viewing forum threads. One nice compatibility FireFox needs is better JavaScript support. I made a "seizure" page using JavaScript that runs for 5-10 seconds. It absolutely does not work with FireFox, and doesn't show any errors in my JavaScript Console.Alegis wrote:Thats the exact thing some have been calling a benefit for no reason at lfn (loopholes :\). It will never have the same compatibility as programs that act like an addon for IE (AVANT!) Oh well, to each his own!
Never had that problemXIII wrote:Meh, I love Firefox, but until it starts rendering pages consistently (slashdot bug is still in there) and trashes my logins every other day I'll keep using IE on the side.
And I'm sticking with the Noia skin
