I used to be able to use Adblockplus on Seamonkey (Mozilla, sort of) and on Firefox to destroy embedded objects that were dangerous to my browser's health *g* I am having more trouble doing that now. Either the latest version of Adblockplus works differently, or I'm forgetting something important that I installed in the filter set last time, or there's a virus of sorts- or a virus fullstopthat'sallfolks- that's landed, or... eh.
Here, if I find the address of the embedding (the page it's on, not the exact address) I can add the address to the filters and stop such embeddings from appearing in future by treating them as advertisements. However, in the past, Adblock - while not blocking them - would count them as _blockable_ and if I hit command-shift-F (apple-shift-F) would block all blockable "objects". I found this very useful. No longer, apparently- and that is the main point I'm digressing around, by the way. (I wonder if it's a new version of Adblock that's doing this, or something else...)
In Camino (a Mac-only Mozilla-like browser, on which I don't think Adblock in any form would install- which does make this relevant) once in awhile Cherrytap pages would load - and the embeddings (videos, for example) would interfere with the page in such a fashion that I could no longer see the comment box, everything would jigsaw left-up right-center dupnownd and - when I left the page- the interference would stay, requiring leaving and restarting the browser.
(By the way- plans for today... exercise still and soon, also- learn some about the new version of Lilypond (lilypond.org) (version 2.6, not 2.0.1 which I was using) and practice. I had a lot of fun using that, and it might still become a part-time job someday... it's what the music score images are produced by.)
