>From AdThwart's page: "Seeing some ads momentarily as the page loads? Extensions can only remove resources after they are loaded, not stop Chrome from fetching them." -- to me, this is far inferior to a privoxy setup. The real beauty of FireFox's AdBlock Plus plugin was that it prevented resources from even being loaded from the browser, wholesale. FF AdBlock/Privoxy don't suffer from high latency ad site banners, or poor performance Javascript nonsense; AdThwart can not prevent the blocking of site counters or multi-site tracking data... AdThwart is devious, along with all the other Chrome plugins that support some form of limited ad blocking, in that it hides these ads and allows the end user to become complacent. *shrugs* -Jesse -- There are 10 types of people in this world, those that can read binary and those that can not. _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Mar 3 - Sahana and 7 Years of MHVLUG Celebration Apr 7 - Nagios May 5 - Android
