Don't know which company this is but these ads are back with a vengeance. I have seen these same ads on several websites.

Also, yeah...if you could fix those darn Yahoo words...I think they call them Yahoo Shortcuts or something...it would be awesome to see them go away!!!

Never mind. It seems Firefox RC1 was the problem. Uninstalling and reinstalling fixed the issue. It was very weird though.

PS -
Not just Vibrant but AdBrite and probably any other offenders. This is horrible surfing the net this way!

I have a weird problem Grant. Maybe you can help me.

Just today, I have 2 computers that are getting clobbered by VIBRANT. Each computer has GreaseMonkey and your script. They were working fine, no changes, or updates. Now, the ads appear.

However, on my laptop, everything is fine and the ads do not show!!

I tried clearing the all private data and cache, restarting the computer, etc. Uninstalled and reinstalled GM and script. No luck. WTF! lol

This is a head scratcher for me!

Thanks for the great update Grant. Life would be unbearable without my Grease Monkey and your script.

@Descriptor
Glad to see you are gone. Grant has always been reliable and kind. If you come here without patience, make demands and basically act like an A$$#ol3, then good riddance. We all celebrate your departure.

WOW...Kontera is on the march! About 5 websites I go to that never used them have now switched and I am invaded by those damn text ads! I hate you Kontera.

And just for conversations sake - Do those kinds of ads really work? I would never trust any ad like that to provide me with quality info or fair prices or unbiased info. It is an ad...someone is paying cash to manipulate you!!! I cannot imagine people going for it but then again...the Nigerian scam emails still work too!

Hey...I can't complain. Life is pretty good with your script as it is. Getting this new trick would just be icing on the cake. lol

OK..interesting thing. Check out this page http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/09/07/workar...

Just a short scroll down under "METHOD 3" there is a link/ad for the purchase of WINDOWS VISTA from AMAZON. I cannot tell who the advertiser is but the text ad is still doing pop ups.

Can this be fixed? I tried the page on another computer with no blocking, etc and it is there...the same ad. Maybe a new company or technique? hope you can kill it Grant.

It does not bother me so much as it is about principle! lol

Only a quote by Eric Cartman can explain how I feel...

SWEEEEET !

I am so glad to see this update. Just for fun, as I was setting up a new computer for my girlfriend, I cruised tons of websites with just IE 7 or Firefox and no add ons, etc. YIKES!!!!!! What a freaking mess the internet has become. Kind of reminds you of the 40's when highway roadside billboards swarmed the roadsides. Bless you Mrs. Roosevelt for stopping that and bless you Grant for saving us on the information super highway!

Like below me have stated - looks like Intellitxt (VIBRANT) is still alive and nasty. Check out this web page as an example - http://www.dvhardware.net/article20804.html

By the way, my experience is based on just those annoying TEXT LINK ads and popups on mouse over.

Yes, I can confirm. ADBRITE is back in town again!

I can confirm this at the site mentioned earlier... demonoid.com

I also have dealt with it on 4 or 5 other sites too. GEEEEZ, I have been spoiled. With this script and GREASEMONKEY for Firefox I forgot just how bad the web is getting with the polluters like adbrite!!!!

Can't wait for your update. REALLY! I CAN'T WAIT!!! lol

I love this script. For the record, I am still seeing ADBRITE text ads/links. This is the website that I noticed it on - http://myarcadeplanet.com.

I guess a tweak or update is needed?
