It seems there is some interest among list members, so
I will reply here.
mozilla (www.mozilla.org) allows you to disable the javascript
open window command either completely or on a site by site basis.
Currently you have to edit a config file to do it (instructions
here
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/configPolicy.html
may be incomprehensible to non geeks).
It also allows you to disable loading images from specific
servers (like doubleclick.net).
This is great if you are on a dialup with per minute charges.
You should be aware that not loading images/pop-ups may
reduce the income of the sites you visit. OTOH, maybe it is
time for advertisers to realize that banners and pop ups
basically don't work, and that making them more annoying
is not a good solution.
errr... spitfire content ? Mine still runs, drives and
leaks (water in the top and oil out the diff). Working
slowly on getting it onto a GT6 chassis and suspension.
Bye bye swing axle. And bye bye twisted chassis.
