Block Web Ads
I don't know about others, but I am sick and tired of web ads! Some websites have so many damn ads that it takes forever to load the pages. Yeah, these websites are monetizing their traffic but there has to be a balance between acceptable and spam!
I am using the handy dandy MVPS HOST file to block ads, banners, and tracking cookies but it is not the ideal solution. Also, the latest version of the file is over 600k and appears to be slowing lookups down. If you know of a MVPS HOST "lite" or have any tips, let me know.
Since I touched on the subject of spam, what is up with the latest rush in blog spam? Over the past couple weeks; this blog has received tons of spam from Russian domains. Wassup? You are welcome to visit, but keep the useless spam to yourself. Thanks Akismet!

I use the FlashBlock plugin for Firefox because really its those flash ads that I can’t stand the most.
