Re: [LUG] Chrome browser

With me I am asperger syndrome which means mildly autistic. The flashing adbanners do what they are supposed to with me - They get my attention, the problem is, they also keep it so I cant focus on the text of the webpage.

Anything flashing or moving and if I dont have adblock then I cant read your webpage. I have often wanted to email the site owners who complain about people who block adblock plus users and ask: Is rendering me functionally illiterate worth the few pennies you get from the odd person clicking on those banners?

Strangely, flashing ads don't bother me much.  I find sites that insist
on updating a cookie every time an image loads more annoying.  With the
cookie settings I have in FF (Ask every time), I can have over 200 cookie
requesters sometimes.
