    ROFL.

    From that angle, it kinda reads like “worryworld.com”.

    Why a photograph instead of a screenshot?

  3. Jesse Ruderman Says:

    It’s a good thing we rejected the request to open pop-ups in hidden windows, to prevent web sites from knowing that you blocked the pop-ups.

    RE: photo vs. screenshot … no real reason … I just liked the photo better :)

    Jesse… actually, you might to open the popup in new hidden windows and limit the total number of popups.

    I can’t open more than five popup windows, even by request :D (default is twenty).

    But I’m happy Firefox blocks them, at all.

    Now if only a web browser would successfully block sounds coming from web pages, which I check that option in the set up stuff.

    Eileen: How about an extension for that? I am not sure though if it could still display flash and just mute the sounds somehow.
