At least everyone wanting to horde the good deals to themselves will be happy!
I have Java set to "Ask me" before loading, and have a java killer that does not seem to be effective enough. I guess I'll have to look into something better.
Update: The first search result: "no script" seems to work great. All the ad bars and banners are now completely gone. While I'll admit I was probably unlikely to click on the banners anyways, doesn't the aggressive advertising hurt potential revenue for the site?
1. Reduced page views / new members from service issues.
2. Members seeing no ads because they have to block them all-together.
FT has been almost impossible the past couple of days. Multiple browsers on two computers - only IE on one of them seems to be
mostly fully functional. In fact, it is killing every tab/window open, not just FT, as I see the the name of the ad script that is trying to load down below.
