Annoying isn't it?  Browsers can do a lot of things like this apparently,
a fact which their makers arn't advertising.  Profiling = big money I
guess.  Anyway, I just read an article in comp.os.linux.announce
describing a progrom JUNKBLOCKER or something with JUNK in it that will
block a lot o this kind o stuf, filter ads (saving you download time),
etc.  I thought you might be interested.


I like six eggs when starting on a journey.  Fried - not poached.  And
mind you don't break 'em.  I won't eat a broken egg.
