Browser features for the future

One thing that really bothers me is when I am in the mood to browse the net like news and stuff, I must page down over and over again to get past the stuff I already did not want to read.

Wish they had a feature not to show you the same things over and over again just so you can skip the headlines over and over.

Just saying......

    Ads - What ads? I don't see any.

    Firefox with AdBlock Plus filters them out.

    The best part is I seldom go over my 5 GByte monthly data limit.

    Before installing FF w/ AB+, I would hit the limit in less than a week.

    It wouldn't be hard to build a plug-in/toolbar/add-on that could spot most of the ad content in a page and remove it before the browser built the display. If you made it public, you'd spend a lot of time fending off the ad folks - they are often really aggressive types willing to go very near the edges of the law to get you to see their content.

    If we remove the ADS on ten pages of news, we'd only have one page left, and we wouldn't have that 'page down' problem. :)

    There are probably ads on those pages they want you to look at.
