Keep the javascript bar from making the horrible wifi even worse?
Hi all, I was curious if anyone knows of a way to eliminate the Southwest javascript bar that they force upon you when visiting non-https sites? I know you can shrink it down to the corner, but it seriously breaks some websites, which makes their pitifully slow wifi all the more frustrating. I had the misfortune of flying this past Sunday all during football time, and trying to keep up with three fantasy teams on nfl.com with that stupid bar preventing player movement and proper page display was really annoying. :-)

Somehow the terms "Southwest wifi" and "really annoying" go together. Since I received my "we suck and we're sorry" apology letter for their bad on-time performance, how about SOME sort of fix for the wifi? Short of that, can they set up a webcast to show the public termination of whoever thought Row 44 was a better way to go than GoGo?

Delta could definitely improve in a multitude of ways but I really like gogo; it's only been bad probably a few times in hundreds of flights.

If you have the ability to VPN into a corporate network that will solve it as well as provide you some additional privacy protections. There are third party VPN services you can use as well. I use either corporate VPN or OpenDNS umbrella.

If the website you're viewing has an SSL (https) option, the JS does not pop the banner up on HTTPS websites.
Also, VPN avoids it, since their proxy server cannot inject into that stream.
