Re: Flash, I use FlashBlock (google it), a great Firefox addon which thankfully blocks flash-based ads, and has a whitelist for sites you visit which use a lot of Flash.

I'd also like to say thank you to posters in this thread. You have convinced me to discourage "I'm leaving" threads on my forum, and to post this about Firefox.

Bloated websites, that use a zillion tables for layout, that wouldn't even validate for HTML 4.01 Transitional. Then when you try to be helpful and point this out, they get overly defensive, and claim, "there's no problem".

Worse, websites that think 1MB logos full of Flash (with the default audio on) is "kewl", and skyscraper high sigs are "fun" (and they're all sandwiched between 2 sidebars full of the same blinking and winking ads). Then they wonder why they don't get the ad click-thrus????

Worst: heavily SEOed websites, that think cramming keywords is "proper", with maybe one paragraph of content sandwiched inbetween 100+ keywords (and forget navigation, as it's all keyworded too).

Someone said long time members who think they are all that and Erin Brockovich

Sometimes its admin that are the worst offenders of this too.

I know you are ultra smart and all but try to come down with us lowly no brains every now and then.
