DisableTextAds updated

By Grant Goodale on May 12, 2007 7:07 PM | | Comments (1)

Two months since the last update, and two new ad networks blocked. AdBrite and LingoSpot ads are now blocked by version 6.0 of DisableTextAds. LingoSpot is especially annoying - they make use of the browser's text selection mechanism improperly (meaning if you select some text on the page that includes one of their adwords and then right click on it, strange things happen).

But none of that matters to you, gentle reader. Just install the latest version (requires Firefox and GreaseMonkey) and browse away.

@Frank - Seems LingoSpot has changed their code slightly. I'll fix it. Thanks for the heads up!
