Yeah, I used to use junkbuster extensively. But I found that everytime I went to a new site, I was nailed with ads and needed to add yet-another-entry to the block list. If a massively comprehensive blocklist was available somewhere (and I was using one of those with like 500 entries from somewhere) then maybe it wouldn't be that big of an issue. Last time I used JB it lacked any form of JS filtering as well. I can do that in Konq, but that's on a site-by-site basis. To each his own, though. :) > cheers, > &rw
