The Filter
Mozilla is a little too subtle.
I know that it blocks pop-ups, but I didn't notice the beige box up at the top that shows when it does block pop-ups that lets you allow pop-ups from specific sites. I always assumed the spell check just went through. Then I was fighting with Mozilla with an email program that has Compose Message pop-up and my roommate showed me the subtle box.
Now that I know it's there, I appreciate the subtlety. Windows is so instrusive, with pop-up boxes for everything.
If I filter that out, right at the top, what else do I filter? Do ads on websites even work?
