Yet Another Ex Subscriber Bitching About The Banners Thread 😀:

I can deal with the top ads, but the one that pisses me off is that stupid DealFinder. I mean... it is like 200 pixels tall.... just put it at the top or something... All it does is throw the entire forum off center, which is quite annoying.

Yes, I would like some cheese with my whine.

Does Mozilla block those ads?


Here is teh file you need!
Put it in your "C:\Documents and Settings\*profile*\Application Data\Phoenix\Profiles\default\mkgfazdr.slt\chrome" directory.
*** Thanks to BingBongWongFooey for giving it to xcript! ***
*** Thanks to xcript for re-posting it! ***
*** Thanks to Nohr for adding the blocked "Rapid Submission ad" ***

Here is a pic of the result!

nah, because we're still loading the adds, and the counter is still registering a hit and anandtech is still making bucks. it's just that we arent actually seeing the adds. all in all, it's a win win situation. except for the advertiseee's.. they're paying for nothing, essentially. which is good. 😀

/* blocks Rapid Submission ad */
body.ftbody tr td table[width="468"],
