I have no idea whether it’ll work in Iceweasel. It’s an element-hiding rule that blocks all <script> tags on Snopes.com and any <script href=> tags that embed a script from Snopes.com on a third-party website.
The reason for the warning about disabling Adblock is because some of the ads are blocked by Adblock’s EasyList filter, specifically by filters like this one:
_728_90.
He’s a bit lazy, though, because simply checking the blocked items and right-clicking the blocked item to identify the filter would have told him to simply rename the.swf and it should then work perfectly...
When confronted with an annoying script, I’ll identify the script and block it in particular... and if I’m feeling particularly cranky, I’ll smack their entire site with a ##script, like this:
snopes.com##script (god damn you Snopes, for your copy protection script...)
What do you mean by typing beyond var? You’ve already got typing, even down to determining the class of a custom object, with the typeof and instanceof keywords...
AdBlock blocks some of the demos (particularly, the ads... seems that the EasyList subscription blocks anything with _728x90. in the address, for instance). The sbemail worked very slowly, still worked very slowly after an F5, but ran quite snappily after a Ctrl-F5. I have no idea whether the sound worked or not because nothing has sound on this computer...
If you are getting paid by clicks through to the website, you have a tough choice. Take the slower ads which will run on more devices, or take the slightly faster ads which might not reach the full audience.
You make it sound so either-or. Haven’t you heard of a user agent?
Yes, it’s the cursor CSS style and you don’t really need Javascript unless you want to change it dynamically (i.e. change it to a hand inside a box region while making it a default pointer everywhere else).
However your rule of “if the whole webpage looks like one big url link to be clicked, then flag goes up in MY head” is rather inadequate because they could just as easily make the sticky iframe only follow your mouse when it’s inside the box region that would normally correspond to the link. I.e. put it in the mouse move event of the <a>, not the entire <body>.
I think it's reasonable to expect that when I click a link to a web page, nothing bad should happen to me.
It partially depends on what your idea of “bad” is. A line gets posted to your news feed saying that you “like” something. That could be mildly embarrassing but it’s not bad to the same degree as getting your computer rooted or stepping off the curb and getting hit by a truck.
That should ensure that content from both domains will work together on the Facebook site itself... I’ll have to wait until I get home to actually test them, though.
(I knew facebook.com obviously but I also knew there was a 2nd domain that I didn’t remember off the top of my head.)
Oh, and here’s a freebie (it got used on this page, in fact):
I want to know what domain to AdBlock on 3rd-party websites to block this sort of thing for good. Basically I want to disable all of Facebook’s javascripts that 3rd-party sites are trying to embed. If somebody knows off the top of their head, it’d be very helpful... but if not I guess I’ll have to figure it out myself. I’m not going to install NoScript, so don’t bother telling me to do that.
Fuck Facebook and its attempted invasion into every other part of my life. I like Facebook just fine but it isn’t an integrated part of my life and I only want to use it in the browser tab that actually has Facebook loaded up. It can keep the hell out of the rest of my tabs; when I want Facebook, I’ll find it – not the other way around.
Most schools in the US ensure that young athletes get a well-rounded education. In fact, if their grades aren’t passing in their academic classes they won’t be eligible for sports until they improve.
Yes, it was BASIC (GW-BASIC, actually)... then when I went to community college they required a programming class and all they taught in the engineering department was Fortran, so I had to learn that. Then I went to a different college and turns out that to be taken seriously you really have to program in C++ so I did that as well. Then it turned out that to really really be taken seriously, you have to know how to write in assembly language, so I did about three different types of that (80x86, MIPS, and the Motorola 68HC12, IIRC)...
Then I got a job and the only programming I’ve had to do has been Excel formulas, SQL queries, VB functions in Access, and ladder logic for Allen-Bradley PLCs.

Element hiding filters are powerful. :)
Strike that, seems that these are the required filters. The ones I posted earlier don’t seem to do anything.
||facebook.com^$third-party,domain=~fbcdn.net
||fbcdn.net^$third-party,domain=~facebook.com

Another example:

||fbcdn.net^$third-party,domain=~facebook.com
Blocks third-party Facebook content (i.e., “Like this”) on websites that aren’t Facebook. Try visiting wimp.com with/without those filters.

I don’t use noscript. I use ABP.

I noticed the same thing on Windows XP, 1.8 GHz... although it was a much less drastic 2-3 sec. difference.
Try reloading it. If a normal refresh doesn’t fix it, try a forced refresh (Ctrl-F5) to reload the stuff it cached the first time.

(Yes, that’s an Adblock Plus filter.)
Had nothing to do with AdBlock for me, but a regular F5 didn’t speed it up... it took a Ctrl-F5 and then it was running just as quickly as you please.

Or will we see a SVG-block addon soon?
You’re a bit slow... it’s already here. It’s called AdBlock Plus.

Oh, you wanted to AdBlock canvas tags too?

When I could code up a particular program, I would be allowed to do whatever I wanted with the computer, no time limits or restrictions.
Out of curiosity, what particular program?

He used lowercase HTML! Burn the heretic!
Just kidding.
If something requires you to “like” it before you’ve even seen it, you should already not like it even one bit...
P.S.
This applies to real life in general, not just stupid Facebook pages.

Not while you’re at work.
Thanks, I’ll be blocking those domains in AdBlock now...
facebook.com$third-party,domain=~fbcdn.net
fbcdn.net$third-party,domain=~facebook.com
