Hello,
I was using junkbuster a while ago, and I tried it again yesterday.
The version I had used in potato worked quite well. I told netscape
to use localhost:5865 as the proxy, and it worked pretty well.

I have problems getting junkbuster to remove flash ads without the flash
plugin being called in mozilla/galeon first.
Do anybody have a generic way to get rid of the annoying flash
commercials so that galeon won't ask me to install the flash plugin all

maybe you have to fix the permissions of the files because junkbuster
