More and more, I'm seeing these double underlined links which pop up ads when you hover your mouse over.

I've tried to block with adblock, but no go....

if you don't know what I'm talking about:

2. If you use Firefox or Mozilla you can install this extension



that will allow you to allow or deny Java script on a "per site" basis. I find it pretty handy.

3. They were clearly created by a Republican...
They are that bad.

I fixed it. Use Firefox Download "adblock" for firefox. Then go to Tools>ADBLOCK>PREFRENCES and add *intellitxt.com* to the list of blocked sites. It worked for me.

YMMV.

4. You can disable it.
If it is at a site you go to frequently, hover over it and click on the question mark (if I recall correctly). When the page opens up, scroll down and there will be an option to disable the links.
