I think I had previously mentioned having flashblock and noscript installed... I'm not particularly worried about using the internet, regarding malcontent (pun intended), most of that is targeting the failings of Windows. I do try to cut down on the annoyances of flashy graphics until I actually want to see them, continual page reloads, etc., and cutting down on things that database you (whether to spam you or just target you with ads). One thing I haven't mentioned in this thread is running my own DNS server which blackholes certain annoying domains, so their content never appears, and traffic back to them can't happen. But, like I over-simplified, I try to keep sites working, rather than break them down in a completely paranoid manner. > If a site does not work, then I simply dump it, and never visit it > again. Bit of a knee jerk reaction. I do poke a bit to see if a failing site simply was temporarily out of order, or that temporarily allowing some third party content will get it working (e.g. playing a video clip in a page). But if it seems a pain to use, I tend to move on. For years I just couldn't see why anybody would bother looking at a twitter page. Never mind the dumb things said on them, the pages always looked so mangled, and never worked right. I had forgotten that I'd blackholed the domain that their pictures came from. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.15.10-201.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Wed Aug 27 21:33:30 UTC 2014 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
