Get Rid of Snap Shots PERMANENTLY on LiveJournal

[spacecowb0y]

The updates to this post are getting numerous thanks to the kind contribution of other disgruntled LJ users, so I'm moving them to the end of the post. Keep spreading the word; they may be able to stop me if they wanted, but they can't stop us all!

So Six Apart just introduced Snap.com's Snap Shots into LJ, and my god are we all the worse for it.

Hi, I came here via your link in the xkcd thread. I'm wondering if you can tell me where I would find Adblock plus? I know I have some kind of adblocking because I already right-clicked on the icon and blocked i.ixnp.com but I don't know how to get to the list you have displayed.

Thanks! :)

Hi! Well you can check if you have it by going to Firefox's Tools > Add-ons menu, and Adblock Plus will also show up on the Tools menu as its own item:

I thank you sir-I personally don't currently have adblock, I've not got around to creating a separate 'developer' profile and I need to see ads when I'm placing them on sites, but I know a lot of friends do so have put the link into my post.

Glad to be of assistance. Just glad to have them gone, yeesh!
