• Undo Closed Tabs Button: only allows you to undo the most recent one; I was hoping to get a more easily accessible Menu than having to go through the History menu.
  
• NoScript: won't allow me to universally allow Javascript while blocking Java

And here are some that I've tried recently but not ended up liking:Undo Closed Tabs Button: only allows you to undo the most recent one; I was hoping to get a more easily accessible Menu than having to go through the History menu.

Adblock Filterset.G Updater

Quote:
You may be aware of this, but in case you're not, the Adblock Plus maintainers recommend against using Filterset G.

There was a reason I deliberately chose not to use Adblock Plus, but for the life of me I can't remember it now.

Quote:
it also has an extensive undo-closed-tab feature, including a full session saver (restore all the open tabs you lost after a crash)

Quote:
Why do allow javascript to run globally? Only running javascript on sites you trust is the simplest way to prevent unwanted software from getting drive by installed.

I was in the exact same situation a while back, looked again, and couldn't come up with why not. I installed it and never looked back.

Quote:
Tab Mix Plus still rules that category. The "undo close tab" seems to have quite a good history of closed tabs.

Quote:
I also use Tab History to have navigation history inherited whenever I open a new tab from an existing one

I looked again and realized why: Based on reading their web site, they seem to require you to subscribe to multiple different adblock subscription lists, and to do some kind of thinking and deciding which of the subscription lists are right for you, and they warn you against subscribing to too many (meaning I can't just subscribe to all of them so I don't have to think about it).

With adblock and filterset.g, I never have to think about it, never have to manage multiple subscriptions, and it Just Works.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use LWP::Simple;

my $content = get("$base/latest.txt");

print <<EOF

You don't want to use AdBlock Plus because it requires that you subscribe to a list. Instead, you use Adblock and subscribe to a list.

No, I didn't want to use AdBlock Plus because it required me to figure out which of many lists I wanted to subscribe to, and worry about the *multiple* list subscriptions.

I liked adblock/Filterset.g better because it always *just worked* for me with that *single* list.

I don't know what adblock plus has above adblock that would be better, except for possibly better performance. But I have zero performance problems with what I'm using and see no need to change.

When NCsoft, an online game provider with a global network, upgraded its popular online game Lineage II, it needed a server computer platform that would sustain hundreds of thousands of user connections to a huge virtual fantasy world. NCsoft chose Windows Server. 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 Edition over Linux. As a result, it can offer hundreds of thousands of users uninterrupted access, and can easily find support for its computing environment and developer talent for its products.

Quote:
Really makes you wonder how that got there in the first place.

Microsoft paid to put it there?

Honestly, I kind of like that idea. Those reading Linuxtoday are unlikely to be swayed by any amount of Microsoft propaganda, but MS would pay top dollar to get that ad space, thinking they'll get some mindshare out of it. So in a distant sense, it's Linux people being financed by Microsoft's own hubris.

Quote:
What I want is a filter list that will banish the right-side propaganda boxes from linuxtoday.com.

I was getting ready to be impressed with RIP, but it doesn't work half as well as Playtpus.

Mark, I've attached a Greasemonkey script generated by Platypus that seems to do what you want. You shouldn't even need Platypus installed to use it.
