If you use Firefox, get thee to [link] and install this add-on. Among other things, it will block the super-annoying giant popups for movies and cars (you know the ones--they show up when the page loads and take over your screen with an irritating animation). It will also disable the intrusive ads that certain art sites like to put everywhere. >>

Edit: To clarify, I have don't mind unobtrusive ads that hang out in the page margins. What made me install the add-on was that there were some ads on this page and others that were hanging up the browser and keeping the page from loading. I finally got frustrated and Adblockinated everything.

If I didn't have Kaspersky, I would use this in conjunction with noscripts. In any case, nice find. Not a fan of the full page flash ads myself.

you'd probably saved me hours of vein-throbbing in forehead irritation in the future.

I love AdBlock but I am I the only one that has tons of other problems with Firefox and dA? Like, inability to delete anything in my message box or vote in polls, etc?

The only error I get is that it occasionally tells me I can't delete messages, although I don't know if that's DA or Firefox burping up.

Yeh for me it never ever deletes anything unless I use a different browser like Safari (which has no AdBlock. D:).

But I've only had the problem since I started using Vista so I'm choosing to blame that. XD I blame it for everything else.

I've had adblock plus and noscript installed ever since my computer crashed a while back. Installed those at the recommendation of some dude at my local game store. hehe

Haha, there's also another way to block these adds on this site ;)


But I def will install that add-on. It seems these pop ups are getting more prevalent... and it's so annoying to have to refresh a page five times in order to be able to pay attention to the content instead of the advertisements.
