Ack, so many to choose from... Which one can ignore the ads that geocities puts on the top right corner like this one

Pop Up Cop gets rid of those, and gets rid of the flying Flash ads too. It's not free, but it is by far the best I've used yet.

You guys should try Ad Muncher. It's pop-up and ad remover. Not only it removes ads and pop ups in every browser you use but also in ad supported applications like: ed2k, yahoo messenger, kazaa etc. It's very small about 90kb yet very effective and it has low impact on your resources. It saved me about 100MB of bandwith in a month. Try it and you won't be sorry.

Does anyone know of a way to disable browser re-sizing in IE? I know proxomitron can do this, but can it be done any other way?

From a webmaster's point of view I dislike the idea of adblockers, that is how we provide the content on the sites for free... as a surfer I understand the need to block over-zealouse website owners from taking over the browser with pop-up after pop-up... and browser resizing annoys the hell out of me.

*sigh* I hope someday there will be a balance that is good for both sides.

Ad-Muncher can do it.

Sounds good kujemer! I'll try that out too

IgwanaRob, Pop Up Cop is great! I like how it shows on the explorer and turns red when there's an ad instead of the system tray

I love the fully customizable toolbar - only show what you want. The "Play all Flash animations" is a great one - block all flash, and click on the ones you need/want. Plus the blocking of browser resizing, and the excellent cookie control and trusted site integration with IE insures your setting remain even if you remove the program. Easy to select security levels is nice to. Too many great options, and so far the only one to block those stupid flash fly-in ads.

    • No one is surprised. It goes both ways. Warhammer remake is not on the PS5, but Xbox/PC and Game Pass day 1 and it is NOT a Microsoft owned game (Sega). 100% Microsoft money deal. Timed of course. Sega wins because they get the Microsoft money now then when the deal ends they get the much larger PS audience to make money from. As far as Black Myth is concerned, the Chinese gaming platform market is very much PC then PS then everything else. Consoles were banned in China for years, then allowed and the PS is the console of choice. The release of Black Myth actually saw a PS5 console sale spike because of Chinese gamer's buying PS5's just to play this game. With the ever shrinking Xbox console market I can see a point where 3rd party games try to get Sony exclusive money because the ROI for Xbox console versions of those games is a shrinking endeavor.
    • Yeah Microsoft's "recommendation" is based on some promotional partnership with Intel. This is not very news worthy.
