dakotatech Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Is there a way we can turn off those annoying ad links in the text portion of articles? It’s just a simple word in the text colored blue. You just mouse over them and a box appears with crud you don’t want, covering the text you do want to read. Quote
OJB Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I know the things you mean, you tend to get them on wordpress or blogger blogs I think. Think its some sort of plugin for the software they bug me too but I think the only way around them is probably disabling javascript in your browser. But loads of sites nowadays rely on javascript.

dakotatech Posted April 23, 2009 Author Posted April 23, 2009 Here's a link.. http://www.ehow.com/how_6086_web-search-engine.html Under the instructions step number 1, they have "search engine". If your cursor just touches the darn thing you get an ad pop up. How anoying, especially if the artical has five or six "special" words in them. I wish I just turn the thing off. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Yes, they are annoying but as OJB says disabling scripts from running is about the only way to get around it. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I just noticed that my Kaspersky Internet Security blocked the "search engine" that dakotatech refers to. Disabled it and the "search engine" showed up. Quote
