All will be Still (a moral decision)

[andrewducker]

After debating back and forth with myself on the subject of "I hate ads" versus "Ads keep some of my favourite sites afloat" I've come to a compromise with myself:

If it moves, kill it.

If the advert is text, I'm absolutely fine with it.

if the advert is a still image then I can live with it (and don't even notice it most of the time).

If it's sitting there flashing in the corner, distracting me from what I'm actually trying to look at - it can go to hell.

I hate the ads that appear over what you're trying to look at and flicker and flash and have a little "x" that's supposed to make them go away, but sometimes the "x" doesn't work or isn't there or my firewall has somehow made the bit with the "x" not appear while my screen is hijacked by crappy animation.

You need Firefox with the AdBlock extension. I just click on "Adblock", find the source of the problem and tell it to block that file/folder/server.

Ah. I have Firefox but not that extension.
