those damn ads
lately the terrible casino ads on iol have been driving me nuts, as much as i tried to zone out the constantly, annoying flashing text in those ads i couldn't. so i would resort to quickly scanning the top section of the article and then quickly scroll past the ad to continue reading the rest of the article. if it was a long article, i would be able to scroll the ad out of eyesight in the browser window.
but now i have aardvark and i don't see those annoying ads anymore, just a white space where they used to be. yay!
this is how my iol now looks:
it has many other uses, but for me the removing of those ads was the best feature
(note: unfortunately, you cannot remove embedded flash file ads)
some of the aardvark key features:
* clean up unwanted banners and surrounding "fluff," especially prior to printing a page
* see how the page is created, block by block
* view the source code of one or more elements
