Oh noes. *hugs hugs*

I wish I knew enough about technology to help.

:(

FWIW, I use Google Chrome and don't have that problem.

Aw, thanks. c: Don't worry about it. I'll just resort to the old "keep a tab open so you can see the pictures and comment on a different tab" technique.

I use Firefox because of NoScript.

See? I don't even know what that is. LOL I think somewhere in the back of my mind, I believe the internet is powered by magic.

Well, I don't understand it very well either, but this is the gist:

Some websites use little program-like things called "scripts" to... well, to do stuff (like, for example, loading comments on a blog, loading advertisements, allowing you to submit comments, letting you vote on polls, allow you to use menus to navigate a website, show you videos, etc.).

But some websites use scripts to spy on what you do: what websites you visit, what you click on, what search terms you use on google, etc., and many people -myself included- find that to be an invasion of privacy.

So, you install NoScript, and when you click on its icon, you see a list of websites that have scripts on the current internet page you're visiting. You can check the reputation of each website, and allow only the websites you are okay with.

Of course, some are kind of dicks and there are websites you can't get to work properly if you don't allow certain websites (in my case, fanfiction.net started including a script from a site with a bad reputation, like a week ago, that you must allow or you can't log in, review, etc. -- yes, that complaining anon was me! :D --, so I was all "well, screw you fanfiction.net - I'll just stop using you!"

I think you can also block ads this way, but I allow the ones that aren't all creepy stalkery, like Project Wonderful, and Google (although I suspect that there is some level of Evil Corporation Shenanigans going on there, but I felt guilty for not allowing many ads) and some others I can't remember off the top of my head.

So, um.... yes. I hope this made sense and wasn't too tl;dr?

Oh, and I forgot: scripts can also be... tampered with? Well, I don't know how exactly it works, but they can be made to exploit vulnerabilities on your computer and download viruses, trojans, worms, spyware (the spying/stalking across sites I was talking about), keyloggers (which record what you type on your keyboard to search for passwords you use and then sell or use that information!) etc. to your computer.

No, no, not at all. I really appreciate the info. My understanding of how shit works is very limited in the technological arena, so yayness for more info.

I totally spread the word on ff.net. *sigh* I don't want any of my friends to get a virus from there like I did.

!

That's right, you told me you would spread the word! Ah, you rock~~~! ♥

I try.

*scuffs toes*
