Too bad there isn't an add-on that pretends to accept all the ad content, and then throws it in the bit bucket instead of displaying it. The ones I use seem to block it from ever reaching the browser, but the feed site knows it was blocked (I get messages saying their web site won't work properly with ad blocking enabled). _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
