If you think that makes your pants tingly, then this'll send you over the edge. :)

Not only can you block banner ads, but those annoying flash ads, and even the google ads if they're in an IFrame.

Speaking of Mozilla, I noticed on Slashdot recently that Mozilla's share of the browser market has doubled since last year -- going from just 7% to 14%.

At a website which is primarly aimed at web development.

Still, a lot of webmasters used (and still use) IE as the benchmark against which to test everything...

Some timesavers include:
- "Close Window" button is right on the tab, not at the far right of the window
You can close it by middle-clicking on the tab anyway. I prefer the button on the right so I can close, for instance, the rightmost 4 tabs quickly.

Bugmenot and Adblock RULE. I have 'em both. I've blocked all banner ads (instead of blocking one ad, replace that ads' name with a *, for example, ads.macworld/*, and it blocks every ad from that web site). Block the iFrame as well, and it's like the banner never existed.
And bugmenot is awesome for sites that require registration.

Well, obviously you don't have enough belief. Try throwing boulders and other large things over our heads. If that doesn't help, your PC may not be properly configured to accept the Create Food spell's output. Try connecting it to your refrigerator. ;)
どうして?お前が夜に自身お触れるから。
Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...
