SJ,
Via AdMuncher, one of the best ad blockers and I've had a few:
Remove scripts with text:
swfobject("/ticker/preview.swf",
Ad Blocker: Ad Muncher
One can get rid of annoying sigs ;-) ads, banners, I got rid of the twitter link. I know it's not 'good' for the sites but it's like having a dvr. ;-) Just right click>admuncher>block image(url, script text, etc).
I think I posted this somewhere here but my cousin got a new dog a while back and named it 'Swiffer' (it was one of those small long haired dogs where you can see the face much ;-) but I didn't understand the 'Swiffer' reference. I simply haven't seen too many commercials because I either VCRed or DVRed almost everything I watch and never saw a 'Swiffer' commercial - fast forwarding
through them all. Cuz and his wife and kids simply couldn't believe that I had never heard of it!!, but I hadn't. Since then, I made it a point to see one and now 'I get it'. lol
