/******* Other Suggestions
* In addition to this greasemonkey script I suggest using Adblock
* Plus, NoScript, and AutoPager.
* Adblock Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
* NoScript: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722
* AutoPager: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4925
*
****** NoScript settings:
* I personally enable the NoScript option:
* General -> Scripts Globally Allowed (dangerous)
*
* So besides just installing NoScript, I also have to blacklist the
* sites I wanted to block. For this site that includes:
* - tomshardware.com
* - bestofmedia.com
* - kontera.com
* - revsci.net
* - clickdensity.com
* - dl-rms.com
* - tacoda.net
*
****** AutoPager settings:
* URL Pattern: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/*
* Link XPath: //li[@class='pagin next']/a[contains(text(), 'Next page')]
* Content XPath: //div[@class='KonaBody news-elm']
*
****** Adblock Plus settings:
* I use EasyList, plus the following filter for this site. Note that you
* have to remove the "// " at the beginning of the line:
*/
// /http://(.*\.tomshardware\.com/forum/|img\.tomshardware\.com/favicon\.png|(.*\.(ad(\.tomshardware|dthis)|bestofmedia|clickdensity|pricegrabber)\.com/))/
