Snap.com Previews

[forsyth]

I know Leti, at least, was complaining about these, and no wonder. They're damn annoying, any time you move the mouse over a link, it pauses to load the snap preview. Luckily, there's ways to get around it. One can be found here, at the LJ of somebody named shlomif. Go to the Viewing Options under settings, and uncheck the "enable graphic previews" box.

Or, if you have Firefox, there's a plugin called NoScript that lets you selectively enable scripts by different domains and such. According to a quick Google, apparently you can do something similar in Opera by disabling Javascript and then selectively enabling it in site preferences.

I prefer YesScript, which operates on a blacklist instead of a whitelist, since most of the time scripts are okay. Plus, there's a lot of AJAX sites these days which require JavaScript.

Opera is cool. You can selectively block scripts without turning off javascript everywhere, or selectively turn it on. But how I'm blocking them is simply by blocking their servers entirely.
