Oh silly me...

...for not jumping on the Firefox bandwaggon. lol

Found a potentially scary (from someone who enjoys making money on the web) situation involving Firefox.

On some Blogs and Message boards a link-blocking script is making the rounds.

Blocks Google ads, Iframes, links galore, and banners deluxe.

Link at mozilla.org/support/firefox/adblock Mozilla/Firefox.

If this becomes widely accepted and goes mainstream (installed by default like Norton's adkillers) folks hoping to earn a decent living on the web will be chit outta luck on the Firefox Browser platform.

Right now, it's being offered as an add-on script to the Firefox CSS file, and most users don't know of its existence, nor are the average users savvy enough to install it.

Remember this the next time you recommend the second tier browsers.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

paul, all this will be academic when Google buys it up lol.

[Paul_KY]

Oh no! Now you've REALLY got me worried!

I only use Mozilla when dl'ing because IE usually sux the big one for some reason. The rest of the time I couldn't bother with it because of how long it sometimes takes to load small images.

Well they didn't buy this for nothing lol
