no problem... (Score 1)

I use Mac Internet Explorer 5.1 and I have developed not getting annoying adds to a fine art :) I don't like using add blocker programs so I do it the old fashioned way, if a page absolutely needs javascript, I click command; then click the javascript activation button or plug-in button then click enter. It takes 3 seconds and the majority of web pages don't need javascript anyway so I keep it off 97.3 percent of my surfing time but most importantly I never get pop up adds or flash unless I absolutely want it. Slashdot and BBC news are two examples of pages that are worth spending 3 seconds to have plug ins and javascript active but the rest of the time they're just not needed. I wish there was a feature in browsers that would allow the preferences to revert back to the original settings after your finished visiting a certain important page.
