block web bugs

Post by FIREFOXED »

How do you block web bugs in no script. Should be under forbid web bugs in advanced/options. Is that the same as forbid book marklets?

You can't "block web bugs" but you might be able to fashion an ABE rule to that effect.

Yes it was but it depended on the HTML parsing methods of Firefox < 4 .. give me a moment to dig up the forum topic about it...

There's still an RFE on Giorgio's to-do list somewhere:

Religion is not the opium of the masses. Daily life is the opium of the masses.

True religion, which dares to acknowledge death and challenge the way we live, is an attempt to wake up.
