I think I've seen this strategy before: http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/adblock So if I'm right, you use the cascading style sheet to block any images that are a certain industry standard size, right? I block ads by using a plug-in (extension) program for Firefox called Adblock. Then I use a RegEx list for adblocking. The list I use is called Filterset.G, and I have another extension to automatically update that. Furthermore I have the following extra lines in my CSS: <code>div[id="mouselayer"], div[id="adstrip"], div[id*="advert"], div[id="dropin"], div[id="dwindow"], div[id="dcv_EchangeLay"], div[id="mntl"], div[id*="popup"], div[id="quack"], div[id="splashLayer"], div[id*="sponsor"], div[id="yschsec"], div[class="ovt"], div[id="fadeinbox"]{ display: none !important;</code> } They seem to block some kinds of ads that Adblock misses. I added the first line to block ads from the public proxy at <strong>anony mo use.org</strong> (take out extra spaces). Makes it so much nicer to use. the extension Adblock is cool also because I can click on it and see a list of all the elements that a web page called. It helps to extract deep links to video and audio files, and lets you see what web-counters the site you are visiting is using. Thanks for the Safari info. Thanks for the info.
