I hate Snap previews. Hate hate hate hate hate.

Yes, I can disable them with a cookie. I change PC almost daily, and clear cookies regularly.

Awful, bad UI, bad bandwidth hog, ugly and intrusive. Hate.

And now that I've got 4th comment on a news post I'll also observe that normally I can at least be constructive about stuff I don't like around here. But not for the bloody previews...

Ditto to both of these comments.

DO NOT WANT

[mymacsucks]

Oh wait, that snap crap is coming from LJ?!?!?!?

I thought that maybe it was cause I'm on a macintosh. Which, besides not having adblock, does weird shit.

Re: DO NOT WANT

Adblock is a Firefox extension, and Firefox is cross-platform, so you could have Adblock.

You don't have to replace the browser as soon as it's out of the box. Safari is pretty nice, and I use it for some things, but I just personally prefer the customizability of Firefox.

Well, now you know; I think the majority of downloadable apps for OSX are installed by copying to the Applications folder. But you know... It's an arrow. I know a lot of people, long-time Mac users and recent switchers, programmers and technophobes, and I've never heard of one of them being confused by that. It seems like you really want to hate your Mac, which is fine, I guess, but seems unproductive to me.

Glad it worked, though!

lol if you can't figure out how to do things on a mac then you're just a moron because it's seriously the easiest thing ever

Uh. I have Flashblock, Adblock, Greasemonkey, and a Macbook with Firefox.

I will forever fail to understand how the dumbed-down Windows generation seems incapable of running the easiest OS known to man. I think it lies in the "no really, it's just THAT simple" concept that Microsoft is known for defenestrating in favour of "You must run three different programs, type in ninety different commands, and change your Preferences before continuing" that has served them so well...

Seriously. Try going to the Adblock website. Alternately, you could just mail your Macintosh to me. I know how to treat nice things.

[rival]

Me too.

[vercettii]

Agreed.

[7rin]

Yeah. I'd like to see where this "positive response" took place, 'cause I don't remember seeing it anywhere.

[reserves]

it's called six apart is LYING to it's users.
