UNO POSTO
I’m sure many can relate to this scenario:
All is calm and peaceful as Timmy happily browses sites of ’suspect legality’ looking for something to entertain, when out of nowhere… “BUUUUZZZZZZZNEEERRRRR!” penetrates his eardrum like unsuspected anal rape. He quickly darts the cursor to kill the heinous virtual inset, but fails to neutralise the unbearable noise with the first few rapid clicks of the mouse button… eventually after a very stressful few seconds, the noise is extinguished by muting the speakers or by successfully zapping the bastard - Ultimately loading the promotional webpage and slipping more change into the owners pocket.
Today, I refused to be like Timmy any longer, after months of Mosquito torture I decided to try and find a solution for myself. This proved to be more difficult than I had first thought, because no single plug-in seemed to kill flash banners effectively. Adblock is a good solution, but it doesn’t stop sound from flash banners, which is pointless. So I turned to something called Flashblock, which blocks flash indiscriminately, allowing you to click on the flash elements you do want to view. This seemed like a good’un at first, but I soon realised that the plugin isn’t adaptable enough to live with.
So, the solution at this point, is that there isn’t one. I’ll just have to keep zapping the lil bastard until someone makes a viable Flash banner Killer.
