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.
