hmm, interesting. I've been getting more banners and cookies since I started using mozilla, too. I figured it was because evil web advertisers had wised up and were using javascript to do all their devilish cookie/banner code (I don't think junkbuster attempts to edit javascript). But if the old netscape is doing better, I suppose it must be something else. It might be worth trying to block outgoing access to port 80 to everything but junkbuster (not too tricky if you can run junkbuster on a different machine than your webbrowser, otherwise I don't know). Then you could see if mozilla was always using the proxy... -- Don't make Godzilla mad!
