læmænt Posted January 20, 2004 That's great, now we'll have full screen video commercials on websites. Here: the story The first sites to feature these commercials include "MSN, ESPN, Lycos and iVillage"... and also UGO. That means Doomworld. Naturally Mozilla and other browsers won't show these ads (the ads are actually WMV movies). This could lead either to everybody switching to Mozilla (a good thing), or to Doomworld being inaccessible outside IE (a bad thing; seems unlikely, but god knows what might happen). Oh, well... 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted January 21, 2004 Um, it said that it will bypass pop-up blockers. Does this mean Mozilla blockers and such as well? Or just those retarded 3rd party ones? EDIT: Okay, nevermind. Fucking WMV. 0 Share this post Link to post

Fredrik Posted January 21, 2004 Disable JavaScript and images. The best thing they can do then is disable access to the site entirely, and you'll be left with the better parts of the web. 0 Share this post Link to post
