DANGER! Do not click that link! It's got a "welcome to my page forever" script!

Firefox is not impressed.

Mark L. Fergerson

Mozilla Firefox did ok. Took about 3 clicks. Chrome Unstable killed it in 1 click.

This is why i rarely click on a posted link until someone else has commented on it. Most are a waste of time, a few are interesting, and then there is the rare trap.

Or just turn off all scripting in your browser... Much easier.

I don't get it. What's a "welcome forever" link? Whatever it is, it didn't do anything to xlinks2

It's a snippet of javascript that triggers on "on exit", and reloads the page. (or the spam.)

I would like to. But two sites i really want require java to work right. What i really need is much more fine grained control, off generally and on for specific sites.

The same issue with cookies.

You can do that in Firefox 3.5

Firefox 3+ with an add-on called NoScript. Allows you to decide which scripts run and which don't.

And FlashBlock replaces flash objects with a blank box and button (to allow you to run it if you desire).

The Firefox anti-scripting plugin allows site-by-site enabling of scripts. Just the ticket for those few that you need to allow 'em on. That's what I'm using, and it works very well...

I might try it if i thought it was properly stable. Good old MSWin age software, if it is mostly running ship it.

Firefox is not related to MS. It is tested a long time prior to actual release. They also fix issues very quickly. The biggest problem are web sites which don't use proper coding. OR ones who are simply lazy...

I read in a lot of places, and i hear at least 10 times the complaints about the 3.5 series than i hear about the 3.0 series. I will let it mature a bit more. KDE4 is not quite ready yet either.
