From: Grandpa on 26 Apr 2006 23:22 Is there a way to "short-circuit" certain website calls to specific domains? For example, I would greatly like to just have any request to load anything from, oh say, http://adopt.specificclick.net/... or maybe even http://ad.doubleclick.net/... to just give me a blank box. I think this will greatly speed up my page load times on certain sites. Would that also work for those "click anywhere - get a pop-up ad" situations too? TIA -- Grandpa What is that dripping from my fingers? Why it looks like time.

It'll let you add more domains to block, and it's very flexible: http://www.getfirefox.com/ http://adblock.mozdev.org/ -- Garner R. Miller Clifton Park, NY =USA= http://www.garnermiller.com/
