OMG! Finally! I’m so happy! That’s one of the most useful thing for an Internet Tablet. All those ads slow down underpowered devices like the N8xx and this will help us get a much improved Web 2.0(tm) experience.

Thank you to the devs of this!

Ok, on my way to make a donation now…

Cheers!

Web designers simply make bloated sites that can bring a modern 300-watt PC to its knees. Loading it down with flash, java, javascript and scads of links to external code.

The devices are not ‘underpowered’. You are implicitly comparing performance on a portable device that consumes under 1 watt of power to a device that consumes 300 watts of power. If you can grasp what this means, you will not call them ‘underpowered’ again.

Nice work! Just one problem: Starting the browser takes much longer (5-7seconds?) than before. Does this problem just exist for me(N800+OS2008)?

I’ve been using privoxy on my n800/os2008 as my adblocker and works pretty well with the default settings.
