Sounds like Snopes.

I don't run ad block. I am happy to look at an ad if it isn't moving. 99% of moving ads are in Flash. So that's the deal I've struck with the Internet, where we are in charge: you can use my system to play your Flash but only if you're nice.

Also, most autoplaying sounds are in Flash.

xoxoxoBruce · 01-18-2010, 05:55 PM

I can ignore the ads, it's having the site come up immediately and having to wait for the fucking tools from digg, stumble, reddit, et al, ad nauseum, to load, sometimes takes 15 or 20 seconds. That really burns my ass.

I don't mind graphical ads myself, or even the animated ones, as long as they don't expand to cover half the screen when I accidentally mouse over them... but Minifob clicks on the animated ones. Blocking them is a necessity.

Yeah, but when video players are flash based, streaming video blockers on my corporate firewall don't block them, which is a good thing. Same thing with Java based players.

squirell nutkin · 01-18-2010, 09:43 PM

I dumped all my addons except tineye when I had to reinstall everything. Twice. Since then I realize I only ever come to this website so I don't really need any addons.

Scriveyn · 01-27-2010, 01:10 PM

Opera any day for me.

Quick and is considered safe.
Pioneered most features you find in Firefox or the newer IE versions.

Comes with adblocking too; works by specifying paths or parts of paths.

Other features I find useful:
- navigation is possible by keyboard only
- I can modify/extend menus and other features

toranokaze · 01-29-2010, 10:07 AM

But no one codes for Opera

skysidhe · 01-29-2010, 09:47 PM

Is it only the add-ons that make Firefox vulnerable to exploits?

I do. - And I know my bank does.

Anyway, coding should be browser independent. Those who don't stick to that rule, they don't get my business and I don't care to view their stuff.

I use Download Helper, IEView, View Image, & Walnut For Firefox.

Had Opera on my dead computer. It was OK, no problems.
