AdBlock? - Oops!-IainB (November 08, 2016, 09:35 PM)
Interesting article. Glad I was too lazy to install most of them. :)
Although for me uBlock Origin was not a viable alternative. The cure was worse than the disease. Enough sites went weird with it running that I just got rid of it.-MilesAhead (November 09, 2016, 09:33 AM)
I had the same problem- so I stick with uBlock, and it works for me. Might want to try it.-Steven Avery (November 09, 2016, 10:51 AM)
Since adblocking is built-in to Slimjet it makes ad-blocker extensions/add-ons superfluous. Chrome, however, would still need a blocker.
- Is that correct?-IainB (November 09, 2016, 07:04 PM)

@MilesAhead: Thanks for the suggestion. I have installed JavaScript Popup Blocker.-IainB (November 10, 2016, 10:06 PM)
Well, it seems to be working fine and is relatively unobtrusive. One can see it in action as the annoying pop-ups and masking screens that one is accustomed to seem to momentarily appear/flicker and then are gone. I'm not sure how it works, but it rather looks as though the offending script might be being defeated after the annoyance has been initially written/output to the screen display buffer.@MilesAhead: Thanks for the suggestion. I have installed JavaScript Popup Blocker.You are welcome. I don't recall it giving me any hassles. Hopefully it will work as well for you.-IainB (November 10, 2016, 10:06 PM)-MilesAhead (November 11, 2016, 06:16 PM)

My Slimjet browser crashed shortly thereafter, and again when I restarted it. Seems to be OK now though. We shall see.-IainB (March 11, 2017, 10:35 PM)
@panzer: BadAdJohnny seems to be working quite well, so far. No reason to nix it anyway, so I shall leave it installed.-IainB (March 23, 2017, 10:44 AM)
...I wonder how does it compare to ublock origin ...I dunno. I thought about it, but ended up not trialling ublock origin - I recall thinking that it might take a bit too much time/trouble to install and use, so wished to avoid another potential time-bandit.-panzer (March 23, 2017, 11:08 AM)

...I installed both on Slimjet. It looks like Johnny is a little bit faster detecting/disabling ads, and on some pages it finds more ads to block than ublock. If you click on Johnny's icon, then let say you click twice (to disable and enable) on stopping all ads, it starts talking (if you have sound on) :) .Oh, well done. Thanks for the report! BAJ does seem to be pretty quick/efficient. Yes, I have noticed that it talks to me. It has a rather more threatening personality than Talking Moose!
I have no idea about memory footprint. Johnny is brand new, so there is no comparison against the others yet ...

Foundation for Economic EducationSo, today I got an email in my inbox addressed to one of my dummy email addresses, from FEE, and it had an item that looked like it could be an interesting article, and I carelessly clicked on the link without thinking. Normally I would have copied the URL from the link and truncated all the tracking stuff off first, and then gone to look at that article.

...You should rather look up sites like mises. org (a lot of free books available), lewrockwell. com, zerohedge. com and others sites, linked to Austrian economics.She's only on micro-economics at the moment. I suspect you are right in that, for macro-economics they will probably get on to the Keynesian "school" of economics - which I was originally taught and which seems to have some irrational hypotheses. So, I already have her lined up for Mises, etc - thanks.
She is probably taught of Keynesian economics and that is so messed up that I don't even know where to start...

"... Having moved away from my favourite Firefox (which Mozilla seem to be killing off), I am using Slimjet, which is based on chrome.No, I've not tried any of those (yet), so thanks for the tips - though I used to use "plain" Chromium (overnight updates).
I used to use Chrome Canary 64-bit (beta), but found it too invasive. I hope Slimjet is better..."
Have you tried browsers that claim they are enhanced version of Chrome or have security improved like Cent, Iridium, Inox, Advanced Chrome or ungoogled-chromium?-panzer (March 31, 2017, 04:15 AM)

Just discovered this today. I was adding the Chrome Simple Gmail Notes (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simple-gmail-notes/jfjkcbkgjohminidbpendlodpfacgmlm) extension to Slimjet and noticed that they had a Firefox version (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-gmail-notes/) too.
I didn't know it existed until today. Looks potentially very handy.-IainB (April 09, 2017, 01:24 AM)

IainB, something for you :D :It looks a bit like the approach taken in the ad-blocker in the Brave browser (which is a rather nifty browser).
"... techblocker is a free browser extension which enables you to block irrelevant and repetitive ads which add no value to your surfing experience. In addition, it also helps you to avoid being tracked by websites, blocks all domains that can spread malware, and even lets you disable social media buttons while you are surfing ...":

@panzer: That smells a bit fishy. I wonder if the author has been "got at"?
Many thanks for the links.
How does one go about downloading the installer file intact from the chrome store?
I can't figure it out.
I have made backup copies of the two folders (Name: bdgggpliahokemcgimpfcaaeknfbjlce) for BAJ in the Slimjet browser (user data), just in case, and the extension is synced to the cloud, so I can always re-install it, one way or another, but I would like to get hold of the installer, for posterity and for examination/study.-IainB (April 24, 2017, 11:17 PM)

Thought my screenshot via Screenshot Captor wasn't that bad!
So it's not working for you - well, my Brave sync code isn't registering on their service, so i guess we're even!
VirusTotal extension is a good addition for (Firefox and) Slimjet (or Chrome based clones):
