Yes, I just love the ad-blocking.

I am on high speed cable, so time to download is not much of a factor.

What I really, really do like is I am no longer bombarded with those g..d...d ads!

Ads don't bug me too much- even pop ups.

What drives me crazy is ads that when you kill them, ANOTHER pops up- ussually more than one. Or worse, ads with sound. Invarible really aggravating sound.

Next to the ones that spawn on their death are the ones that run around your screen and don't stop for a while so it takes you at least 5 seconds before you can kill it. My pop-up stopper isn't blocking all the ads anymore though, a few get through every once in a while, whys that?

Hey!

Who changed the topic?

How'd you do that?

I am surprised no one has asked how I can block third party cookies in Internet Explorer 6! It is somewhat obscure and not readily apparent from the menu.

For those who may want to know:
1) Select Tools/Internet Options from IE6
2) Select Privacy
3) Click the Advanced Button
4) Check "Override automatic cookie handling"
5) Under "First Party Cookies", click "Accept"
6) Under "Third Party Cookies", click "Block"
7) Click "OK" twice

Edit: This may also be available with earlier Versions of Internet Explorer. My experience is only with IE6.
