OH GOD! This is soooooo anoying!

Hmm. Doesn't seem that annoying to me. Oh, wait let me re-enable animated gifs. Yep, I agree with sithious, OmniWeb definitely helps in that arena.

the only bad thing is about turning all the good stuff off is: you go to a cool site, like a graphic design site that has all that good stuff, then you don't get to see it.

Or you come here and you don't get to see the cool animated avatars.

turning all the good stuff off

I hardly think that flashing banner ads qualify as "good stuff".

I also turn off image loading for images of approximate banner size. For a while I had images from another server disabled.

I'm a firm believer in coding your website to standards set forth by W3. I am also a firm believer in coding your website to allow alternate access (such as no images). I know, this is not popular at all, and very very few websites conform to this. But it's how I think things should be. When I see a web page that says "You need Javascript enabled to see this site" I don't go back. Sorry. I also don't revisit pages that "Are best viewed with any specific browser". Sorry.

I do miss some of the animated gifs in avatars, but I'm not too concerned about that. When your avatar is blinking and flashing it distracts me from your post, which I think is more important.

Sorry if I've stepped on any toes with this post. Long day.

Ever see the Simpsons episode where they go to Japan, and go into seizures because of the TV show they happen to turn on? I just about had seizures myself.

Wow... you like boring sites don't you. No images? I would rather make a site with all images. no tables or anything. just a big ass image with an image map. Javascript makes some really cool stuff, along with flash. Most sites now need javascript. this site uses a lot of it. I kind of agree with specific browser thing. but untill all browsers support the <iFrame> tag, I would rather piss on them, rather than develop for them.

Mac OS X is the javascript/flash of the OS world. you want no images kind of OS? use windows. that makes you want to turn of the GUI

i think annoying is spelled correctly?

omniweb is pretty smart. i am using it, and it only filters banner adds. not animated avatar gifs, or other images.

i agree html compliance is super important. letting the monopolies control information protocols will marginalize the mac user. (and any user of any other OS except for windows)
