That problem is easly solved. Get Firefox., It's better and has a builit-in popup blocker. As well a Google search by default.
On the other hand, if you want more Google bells and whistles, add the Googlebar to Firefox.
But if you're a Slashdot reader, you should know all this anyway.....
From an aesthetic point of view, multiple pages look better.
But I agree with you. This is one thing I like about The New York Times. Each of their stories has a "view as one page" link, which I often take advantage of.
What makes weatherbug "crappy"? I like it. I checked out the Weatherfox extension. It's nice, but you get no where near the detail you get from Weatherbug.
Why did they remove composer from Firefox? They didn't. It was never there to begin with.
Thew whole point of Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird and (standalone) Composer is that less bulk is better.
Personally I've never liked having to load an email program, and html editor when all I wanted to do was look at a web site. I never liked that about Netscape years ago and I don't like it about Netscape (and Mozilla) now.
I was thrilled when Firefox came out. Played with all the major players on Windows recently (Mozilla Suite, Firefox, Opera and IE) and the bottom line is, Firefox boasts the best feature/bloat balance of the bunch.
And the Mozilla swuite will be around forever, it just won't be developed (just maintained).

Did anyone really think Ken was gonna never lose? Give me a break!
Also, it never occurred to me that geeks and nerds love Jeopardy!, I thought they (apparently) loved sci-fi...

How am I a troll? I was asking how we can get rid of this stuff....
Who knows. Use Googlebar instead.
It's been that way for a while, actually.
And your sig is tastless, sorry....
I love it. It's very accurate. I just double-checked the keywords "miserable failure" to be sure...

That's because you don't know how to spell googol....
I guesss it's not possible for a mod or someone to delete a post on here is it?
Hummm..
It looks fine to me

My last visit to a Sears store was when I bought a DVD Player in December of 2002 (the "other guys" were out of stock of the model I wanted).
I don't recall this "smell" you speak of...
Either way, it's still unpronounceable. ;-)
Works for me. Hell if we can Squeeze Star Wars in With Linux, BSD, Windows, C++, Java and Hardware, why not? ;-)
You say I may not be?
I dunno, I think Firefox is worth that "huge chunk of code".
I run Gaim and GIMP on Windows 2000. I too, had to download the GT2 libraries. I didn't mind at all.
And I have a "tiny" 20 GB hard drive.

As usual, I'm in the minority. But of all the extensions you can get for Firefox, Adblock is not one that I bother with.
I really don't mind ads. As long as they are not popups (and Firefox's built-in popup blocker kills most of those) I'm cool.
MinIT conflicts with another extension I have that I find more useful (I forget what it is now) so I got rid of it.
:-)
I've never seen Maggpie before. Thanks to you, I just installed it.
That's nice. But most sites aren't yours.....
What makes weatherbug "crappy"? I like it. I checked out the Weatherfox extension. It's nice, but you get no where near the detail you get from Weatherbug.
I'm running Windows 2000 and 90% of the extensions I've tried, work (like they are supposed to).

Eventually you'll be left in the dust from a technology standpoint. Mozilla plans to stop developing the suite and focus on individual components. They will maintain it, but not develop it
You're right thate. That extension sees a word ending in "doc" and if that word is hyperlinked it assumes it's a Word Document and adds the "W" logo.
So, it's not perfect, but then, you get what you pay for.
AMEN! That has got to be my #1, most used extension. Especially since Usenet seems to be on it's last legs these days...
