Am getting frustrated. On the internet today there are so many sites
that have taken on so much advertising that it is killing my desire to
go to various sites. I mean specifically news sites.
My box is a relatively new AMD quad core over 3 Gh, 16 Gb Ram and a
video card w. 1 Gb memery on it, running Wheezy always updated and
current. I go to some news sites and they have video start up and run
while I'm still trying to get the page loaded and then trying to scroll
the page my I/O (mouse and/or cursor keys) won't work or I have to wait
for a video ad or more get done. Than someitmes w/o meaning to I
scrolll over another ad and it starts running it's video and it starts
all over again.
Am I missing something in some an additional program I can install to
help take over or as an addon to Eceweasel browser? This is really
frustrating and I woiuld appreciate any help anyone can give.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Why don't you have it? It'll reduce the amount of page you need to
download ($ netstat --iinet will show you connections).

You 'should' also have these installed:-

It's All Text
