Avant Browser has the best feature ever
Selective Image/AD blocking.

This means I right click on YOUR sig pics I find too big, too annoying, too anything I want to call it - right-click add to block list and it's gone forever.

So now I can enjoy ~some~ of your sigs, but no more blue dogs that take up 80% of my viewing area, no more 500k animated gifs, no more spastic MC Hammer.

Ahhh *tiptoeing through the threads*

3. How 'bout my sig?
I actually de-cluttered it a few days ago. Is it a little less annoying now?

Or just make it a big empty space?
What if it's a link? (like grovelbot)

9. It's just gone
Edited on Fri May-20-05 02:01 PM by DS1
Doesn't even bother to load the image and then hide it, as soon as it comes across an 'img' tag with an address of a blocked image, it skips the entire tag

It can block entire servers, too.

11. That's One Of My Favorite Features Of Avant Browser Too...
... and that's EXACTLY how I use it here at DU.

Animated gifs... GONE!
Huge signature graphics... GONE!
Disturbing sigline imagies... GONE!

I also love their shortcut alias feature. I just type "du" in the address line and have Avant Browser automatically load the discussion forum lobby.
