The fact that ads have to be injected into a page when the page loads means there's a possible vulnerability to the site and whoever visits the page.

Ads = virus, how?
You've gotta be dumb enough to actually click on it or visit the wrong sites, for that to happen.

Haven't you ever accidentally clicked one? I mean I know I have.

Also does anyone here use the FF add-on Ghostery?

I have no need to add you to my browser

Now then, bathroom is clean (so clean and bright, I think I need a duller light), lounge room is organized (enough) and my sleeping quarters are as messy as usual, so I think I can relax the rest of my Sunday.
I guess its time to start making that animation I've been planning for almost a year.

I tried it one time, but it was rather useless.

Hmm... I set it up to bock out everything and I have enjoyed having it as I don't tweet or use thefacebook so getting rid of that shit and not allowing things to track me is rather nice.

Basically all the advertising stuff.

What about NoScript?

Gh0st93 · « **Reply #17510 on:** June 01, 2014, 01:17:51 AM »

I've seen it but never tried it.

megido-rev.M · « **Reply #17511 on:** June 01, 2014, 01:19:02 AM »

Then get to it.

First impression is I'm not really digging it....

Why don't you guys just use chrome? I used to use Firefox, but I switched to Chrome and have never gone back. I found it to be a lot better.

^same here. Chrome master race!!

megido-rev.M · « **Reply #17516 on:** June 01, 2014, 01:31:48 AM »

< uses both

Gh0st93 · « **Reply #17517 on:** June 01, 2014, 01:34:23 AM »

I used to use both but I hated chrome and started using Firefox a long time ago and have really enjoyed it over chrome. Plus I prefer not to have google in every single part of my internet usage.....

Mistgun_Zero · « **Reply #17518 on:** June 01, 2014, 01:37:45 AM »

I use google for normal surging and most downloads. Firefox is for specialized bulk downloads using the extension imagehostgrabber. It's simple and effective.

megido-rev.M · « **Reply #17519 on:** June 01, 2014, 01:39:06 AM »

Surging what?
