do AdBlock and FlashBlock allow you to manage exclusions?

Flashblock gives you a box with a play button where the Flash would have been. If you want to watch it, you press play.

I also use NoScript, although that can be a bit more of a pain – stops any…

I once signed up for an Amex at a trade show. By the time the cards arrived (yes, it was some special deal for two) I decided I didn't want them. Rather than 'activate' the cards by signing them, I cut the cards and sent them back.…

They stop pages like stuff and the herald that dance around like Trevor mallard and Pete hodgson on Party pills,dead in their tracks. You get to filter what you want and tell the browser to actual remove the ad panes so…

We do need a someone other than WestPac to have a VISA etc debt card in NZ though. Nothing wrong with westie they're not that competitive though.

I've had one of these cards since it launched and I've never been given a free flight other than the ones I've earned myself by using the card…

do AdBlock and FlashBlock allow you to manage exclusions?

Yeah, totally. Normally the last step of the installation for AdBlock Plus is to choose a canned list of exclusions that magically kills ads all over the place, but you could just skip that step and then add your own filters.…

What are they?

A while ago someone recommended AdBlock nd FlashBlock, and I've never looked back. Unfortunately (?) it means all these threads complaining about such and such an ad here are completely lost on me.
