LOL haven’t thought of that in so long I had to look it up, though we called it gleek when I was a kid. I mastered it very quickly and promptly forgot about that entirely useless skill.

Not all malware may be disguised as an ad, so I like using just the one Firefox add-on NO\_SCRIPT. I get total protection from anything at all running, and the only time I have to turn on just the SMDB is for spoiler tags and polls, but even then everything else ad wise is still blocked. I like the fact a new ad or ad server or location is not going to get past it, and you can enable just the sites with scripts you want to see, here like I say I’ve only seen spoilers and poll voting ever need it on.
