Believe me, I have _no_ remorse for it. Websites load faster, most popups are gone, and the space that most ads take up is given back to the content. I think you should go for it and never look back. -Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: "JacobRhoden" To: Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 02:05 Subject: using squid to block out adds and other things Does anyone here use a proxy server to block out ads? Is anyone aware of / does anyone have a list of the domains of add servers? I currently have about 10 of the main ones blocked and it is really nice, and often stops alot of popups too (: (I am also asking this because i am curious as to if anyone thinks I am evil for doing it . . . i wonder how many Mb of data I have saved from being downloaded . . . ) (: - jacob Jacob Rhoden Phone: +61 3 8344 6102 ITS Division Email: jrhoden@unimelb.edu.au Melbourne University Mobile: +61 403 788 386 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
