Fuzzy Logic...

Just when you think that these swoopy, newfangled browsers and their plugins are supposed to learn your surfing habits:

Uh, no. (click to embiggenate)

You think you're so smart, Mr. Firefox and ABP, but you're not.

  2. I despise the current trend of trying to make software smarter than the user. I want my tools to do exactly and only what I tell them to do, not what they think I should want to do. Dealing with the consequences of screwing up is far less annoying than dealing with stupid hipster UX designers.

  7. I got this issue too a few weeks ago on a recent update.

    While it was total FAIL, compared to all the good that Adblock+ & ElementHidingHelper & Fanboy's * List does, I'm not going to complain.

    The web pretty much sucks if you don't take back your browser for yourself.

  8. I got one of those once, wanting to send me, not to my bank, but to a pop-culture site that differed by, yes, one letter. Not so smart, indeed.

  11. I love my ABP, Never had that issue that I've noticed (I think I turned that off..)Its so worth it to just kill all the ads that seem to pop up everywhere when I'm not using one of my normal computers.

  12. DanH,

    I have been known to yell "I did not come here to be sassed by a machine!" at the self-checkout register at the grocery store.

  13. I'm surprised you didn't shoot it. On the other hand, that's what the haters want you to do :)

  14. I think you meant to install AbBlock, the exercise Widget.

  15. Firefox is way better than IE4? 5 maybe, whatever it is I was stuck running until I swapped over.

    Facebook works like normal, yay!

  16. BP - that reminds me of something that crossed my mind the other day: Don't most chest wounds suck?
