(BTW, if you didn't know about the adblock list maintained at
But no, I want one more thing. I want to have control over redirects. When I log out of hotmail (I have a spam magnet account there), I don't want to be re-directed to msn.com. And when I finish using my webmail account for $WORK, I don't want the next refresh to go to the ISP's advertising page.
Greasemonkey gives me control over the page via Javascript. Can anyone think of a way (call it "Greasegorilla") to give me more control over HTTP?
I'm not bitching, I'm planting ideas.
BTW, in case you're wondering about the subject, it's a variation on a book title from one of my all-time favorite TV shows. (I got my season I & II DVDs this weekend. Yay!)
Eh... I thought it actually contained a list of things to block...
But it also contains regular expressions such as/[^W_]sponsors?[^W_]/
I don't like it...
Check out this page, for instance.
