| 100369 | 2002-11-21 20:48:00 | Whenever I check my setup with AdAware, it seems that Doubleclick is one of the main culprits feeding me cookies. I went to the Doubleclick site and installed their "opt out" cookie which they claim will stop more doubleclick being continually foisted on me. I haven't checked if it works yet. Does anyone know anything about this opt-out mechanism? Does it work? Any advantages, disadvantages etc.? Is there a better way to block cookies from selected sites? |

| 100371 | 2002-11-21 21:58:00 | Third part software is the best way to goas Gibler says. There are actually "hundreds" of Doubleclick sites around the world. The best way is to download a pre-written 'hosts' file which will block Doubleclick plus hundreds of other nasties. This site tells you all about it: http://www.smartin-designs.com/ This site has a special anti Doubleclick program '0click', which is just a hosts file editor really: www.nsclean.com |

I'm loving this browser more and more every day! I just added the sites to the Dont Accept list and told it to prevent any new ones from those site! Download from: ftp.mozilla.org |
