I guess it makes sense that it uses JS. Only thing with that, is it disables it for everything else. Main reason I prefer something like ad block for my system... Same goes for flash ads. One can remove flash and be done with them, this is true. But there are also some things on the web one might want to see, which uses it also...

I think that you are confusing Javascript with Java. You can disable Javascript and hardly notice it. If you run into a problem somewhere, you can always reenable it easily.

Almost every site uses JavaScript for FORM submission validation, AJAX, or DHTML.

The code is here:

<!-- start Vibrant Media IntelliTXT script section -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://itxt2.us.intellitxt.com/intellitxt/front.asp?ipid=1882&mk=10"></script>
<!-- end Vibrant Media IntelliTXT script section -->


I added *.intellitxt.com to /etc/privoxy/default.filter along with the ah.pricewatch.com host and they've disappeared.

I'm not confusing anything... Ad Block plugin, no disables, no ads seen...

Leave the Ad Block out, start disabling stuff (and flash is a big thing here), and bleh, forget it.

If it's all the same, I'll stick with ad block, and then not even have to think about enabling or disabling anything :D Ads foiled, no futz, no mutz :thumbsup:

I use the Opera browser, and have a button on the main bar, to enable/disable Javascript with a click, so it's really no bother.

you can disable them with less intrusive means than using adblocker. just add the hosts to your system32/drivers/etc/hosts file

127.0.0.1 itxt2.us.intellitxt.com
127.0.0.1 ah.pricegrabber.com


case closed, no need for adblocker software, etc. :)

Adblock is useful for other things, and it's not as if it's a third-party program that runs independently of the web browser.

Adblock is a firefox extension. It only runs when Firefox runs...
