Re: [newbie] Blocking websites from displaying in Konqueror?

[Derek Jennings]

Yes there is a fairly simple way.
On the 8.1 discs is an application called junkbuster. This is a proxy server 
which you run as  a daemon, and you point your browsers to the proxy instead 
of to the internet. Any time doubleclick or any other domain you despise 
tries to hijack your browser junkbuster will intercept it and display a 
graphic in its place.

Now you have 8.0 so junkbuster is not on your disc set (I think)  you can get 
it off the web, but be aware there are two versions. A new one which is 
fairly experimental (I gave up on it), and an old one which is reliable but 
not very sophisticated. Try a Google search and you will find it.

 This is with Mandrake 8.0.  I am also using iptables firewalling, but
 that is IP addr only, which won't catch everything I want to catch.

Thanks for the tip on Junkbuster.  I used to use it but it definitely
doesn't work for some sites.  I'm not sure why.

Wouldn't this be an awesome feature for Konq?  Have a menu where you
can list domains that should never ever be visited?  It seems like it
would be a really easy feature to add.  Just when Konq is about to
call gethostbyname, before it does that, see if the domain is on a
blacklist.  Would this be difficult?
