How to block flickering of ads in Chrome?

[Gene E. Bloch]

Sorry, I can't imagine what you must have done with your browsers to
break such a basic bit of functionality. Perhaps someone will chine in
with a fix. Could it be as simple as a PC reboot?

OK, I'll switch browsers and restart. Even better, I'll try it right
now, since I've rebooted since yesterday.

OK, Char, I'm back. I tried it. Guess who wins?

Hint: his initials are CJ.

Who knew?

Well, we can certainly answer that last question

BTW, my browser is Firefox 7.0.1. But I really thought it was not the
browser but the link. Apparently the browser was in a bad mood, it being
Monday and all that. And I was fiddling a lot with a couple of backup
programs, Macrium and EaseUS Todo. It's clearly time to blame the victim
(me).

Yes, I also assume that was the intent of what was said, but it is not
what was said.

I was able to parse the original quote correctly, but I can see how a
quick read might throw a person off.

Heh, thanks for coming clean. I knew it wasn't a problem with the
way I posted the link so that only left a few possibilities. ;-)

Personally I use neither IE, Firefox, nor Chrome. I greater prefer
Maxthon to all of them.

Well, you're just the coolest person ever then...

It's amazing how gently you can berate me

BTW, thanks for the lesson in URL formats.

......and don't forget to keep an eye out for IsoCrap.

Humm, been using Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape for over a decade, whats this
so-called "IsoCrap"? Perhaps it is self inflicted injury?

As you have already noticed I am regularly re-born and you were smart to
notice it, VLH. I'll have to resort to Russian, Gaelic, or similar ;-)


There were a lot of squirty movements that I found very distracting. A
stationary picture would not have bothered me. Undoubtedly those jerky
movements were designed to attract attention.


I had no problem installing Chrome. No extensions yet, as far as I could
see. I never fiddle with anti-virus progs. I am quite sure that there is
nothing unusual about the movements - they simply were squirting around
to get attention.


This one seems to squirt around much more often than Firefox, which I
have dumped, and with pleasure, for its introduction of crap progs.

Finally VLH, thank you for solving my Fax and Scan prog. I could not
have found it without you. After a couple of hours of work at Micro****
I still hadn't found your solution. I suggest you go to Micro****, teach
them, and then take over the place.

I forgot to mention that I did get the blinking completely snuffed just
before Chrome was about to stop me. I ignored that attempt and I now
have an almost blissful life with no ads.
