AdMuncher re-discovered

by Kiven on July 8th, 2007

Steve Bass of PC World recounts how he was able to re-discover admuncher and he’s now using the app on a daily basis to keep webpages free of ads and pop-ups.

I made a discovery today about Ad Muncher that increased its value substantially. I was having some trouble on LaLa.com — the page wasn’t loading correctly and I saw a “script error” message on my browser’s info bar.

Ordinarily, I’d right click on the page and add a filter to Ad Muncher in order to block everything on the page. Ad Muncher gives me the option of blocking only certain things, say, to remove just images, or allow just scripting. But being pressed for time (okay, make that lazy), I always choose to block everything; that works, but the downside is other things, like maybe a pop-up window I really do want, might also find itself blocked.
