I use junkbuster at home to block adverts (with great success) for two reasons: 1) I am offended by the overly commercial nature of much of the web, when it is piggybacking off the work and time that others have put in for free. 2) It saves on download time. Basically any url specification (this can include eg ads.*.com, or any directory on a site called ads etc.) can be blocked, and optionally replaced with either a 1x1 transparent gif, or a gif that says junkbuster. It works very well for me. After having to add about 10 or 20 specifications to the blockfile (examples of which can be found on the web anyway) when I first installed it, I now do not see adverts on any of the sites I visit regularly, and a greatly reduced number on other sites as well. Junkbuster can also stop your web browser sending out your email address, and can block cookies in either direction. I recommend that everybody install junkbuster for privacy reasons, apart from anything else. frankie -- ,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. > Frankie Fisher | Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that < > frankie @ | the nastiest of men, for the nastiest of < > skunkpussy.freeserve.co.uk | reasons, will somehow work for the benefit < > PGP Key available on request. | of us all. -- John Maynard Keynes < `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
