The incessant parade of intrusive ads has finally forced me off Safari, so I'm re-logging-in on Firefox and hoping for a less irritating web experience. There are bound to be hiccups.

Found via Jim Hines: snuggling puppies. I particularly adore the *four* tesselated ones.

And via that site, giant dogs with their owners, although I swear that first one is a person in a hairy suit. Awesome.

Let's see if the cross post still works.

There's an AdBlock plugin for Safari too.

Cuddling puppies!!

The funny thing is that I don't really mind seeing ads on web pages. Sometimes I even click on them. But web pages that randomly intrude upon my viewing by replacing the page I was looking at, or, most recently, web pages that announce to me that the police are onto me and have taken over my computer and the only way I can escape is by force quitting Safari... no. Just no.

I've had pop-ups banned for ages, but this crap is obviously able to get through. It's really annoying, as I've been happily using Safari for years.

But, tessellated puppies make *everything* better!

Personally I hate ads but I can definitely understand that even if you're moderately tolerant about them having them completely hijacking your computer like that must be maddening.

Puppies (and kittens!) solve all problems :-)
