MB, A litle more on ad blocking To give an example, I went to the InfoWorld site. Downloading the home page with the Ad blocker enabled took 8 seconds. Without the Ad blocker 28 seconds. (And any article I clicked on took to me to a page with more ad's). <g> I looked at the home page source and there were six URL's to the Doubleclick Ad server. With Naviscope invoked the URL's were replaced with Begin/End Naviscope Ad Blocker. Ad blocking has the same effect as a faster Internet connection. <VBG> BTW, the ad's are replaced by a light blue box of the same size as the ad. If you want to view an ad with the blocker on, holding the cursor over the ad for 1 second downloads it.
