Hi solaris - or anyone else

Seeing a couple more offsite graphics links posted here the other day set me wondering how to block all third-party content in web pages. I came across the Karma Blocker add-on for Firefox, which does the job OK, but it doesn't show that things have been blocked. What I'd like is a small graphic showing in the page saying "Blocked content" or some such. Any ideas?

(EDIT: Sloppy writing, sorry. I meant graphics hosted offsite, not links to offsite graphics)

Thumbs down 3 Cows? - 04-04-2008, 01:01 AM

Hi solaris

Thanks for the suggestion. Interesting product! No EULA, no prompt for install location, no entry in Add/Remove Programs, must be installed and run as Administrator. And in spite of its description, it just seems to be a pop-up blocker, with built-in tracking features. Looks like malware to me

Microsoft Thailand gives it a Software Rating of 3 Cows. I think that may be a bit high

But thanks again for looking
