|That sounds intriguing.
|Does it get the "Pop Unders" that somehow elude the Popup Blocker?

Nah. It's a whole different thing.

Pretty much anything that appears on your screen can be zapped away.
There's  Right-click; Remove this object  for actual objects
and for pretty much anything (or a whole bunch of things) that can be *marked*
there's  Highlight; Right-click; Remove selection.

I was reminded how useful this is when I was using the library's computer
(Internet Exploder).  When you get a columnar page
where some dolt hasn't left any spaces in a long line of text
--usually a spamming idiot or someone with an over-obfuscated email address,
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.electronics.equipment/topics
the right-hand column gets shoved under another frame
and, in this case, you can't read the timestamps of the posts.

With my box, it's no big deal: Mark; zap (stuff shifts back over); read everything.

When you want to *print* a CONCISE page, this can be VERY useful.
(SeaMonkey's built-in HTML editor makes it easy to get what you want as well.)


You're going to love this.
This DON'T SHOW ME CRAP thing can even be *automated* for sites you visit often.
Mark it once and you never have to deal with that annoying "content" again. 
cache of http://platypus.mozdev.org/
++"Active.Browsing"

The Platypus extension uses "GreaseMonkey" scripts: 
cache of http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/index2.html
++control-any-aspect-of-a-web-page++*.change.its.behavior++website.bugs

...and once someone in the Open Source community solves a problem,
he usually shares his script:
