The goggles do nothing!

Now that Minefield Alpha 7 has shipped, nightly builds have become version “3.0a8pre”. This has had the unfortunate side-effect of breaking Adblock, until someone updates its maxversion on AMO. [Or I 'fix' it locally, by installing NTT or one of a number of other workarounds.]

In the meantime, I’ve been marveling at all the advertising I’ve been missing out on. I feel like I’ve stepped out of tranquil Anytown, KS and into the middle of Times Square.

WTF, do people really click on these things? [Sadly, I know what the answer is.]

Please excuse me while I go flop around on the floor now…

    And now that you have given us APNG, these advertisements can be annoying with an even higher level of fidelity. Way to go. :)

    Of course the vast majority of Firefox users still suffer from these ads. And that’s never going to change in official builds.

    Are you happy that it’s fixed now ;)
