Pith Helmet?
in [Mac Applications]
|
From: Kurt Ullman on 27 May 2010 19:34 I am trying to find something that goes with Safari to stop the Bing and Vibrant annoyances. (The ones where if you just happen to cursor over the highlighted word something pops up). Speedtv has also developed the rather nasty habit of just starting audio commercials with no way I can see to stop them. Would Pith Helmet take care of these? Suggestions for things that might? Thanks -- I want to find a voracious, small-minded predator and name it after the IRS. Robert Bakker, paleontologist

Seems to be working well so far. For some reason I am still getting the vibrant header thing, but no add. Much less annoying and I'll play with it a little later. Thanks, to JR and the others who answered, as always. -- I want to find a voracious, small-minded predator and name it after the IRS. Robert Bakker, paleontologist
