I LOVE Flashblock!!!
Greenhybrid was running so slow it was locking up my computer. Lots of websites have flash adds that bog down your surfing. Enter Flashblock....Now instead of annoying Flash adds all you see is a little "f". If you want to see the flash animation all you do is hover over the "f" which turns it into a play arrow and click! How cool is that!
Flashblock installs automatically from the web to several different types of browsers. I had to changes some settings both times I've installed it but once installed it works great! See: http://johnhaller.com/jh/useful_stuff/disable_flash.asp and: http://flashblock.mozdev.org/ https://www.greenhybrid.com/share/fi...flashblock.jpg |

I agree - I have been using Flashbock for over a year now.
Check out NoScript and CookieSafe as too. They allow you to determine what sites it is OK to run Javascript, and to accept cookies from. Both allow you to approve a site for just a session, or permanently. The default is to block Javascript and cookies. |

I tried installing FlashBlocker and it seems to work on other sites but the ads on GH are still showing up....

Re: I LOVE Flashblock!!!
Here is the still picture version of the ad:
http://m1.2mdn.net/1322346/06HSD_LIF...KUP_728x90.jpg Which is a .jpg file named: 06HSD_LIFESTYLE_BACKUP_728x90.jpg This is actually a pretty cool feature of our site. Instead of bugging you to upgrade to the latest version of Flash, the ad defaults to a still picture instead of a Flash animation. |
Re: I LOVE Flashblock!!!
in fact, I can't even open GH in Firefox now. There seems to be a conflict between GH's flash and Flashblocker as the whole page just locked up on me mid-load and I had to use task manager to shut down firefox. Actually....it has Firefox so locked up now that I may have to have to shut down my while computer. Task manager can't even close Firefox.
It took almost 4 minutes for task manager to close Firefox. This is a disaster. |
Re: I LOVE Flashblock!!!
That sounds like what mine was doing BEFORE installing FlashBlock..
