Name = "IFRAME Hider"
Active = TRUE
Limit = 7
Match = "</head>"
Replace = "<style>
"
"IFRAME {display: none;}
"
"</style>
"
"</head>
"
I've not widely tested this filter but it has worked as expected at sites with known iframes. AFAIK no other browsers besides IE support iframes so if you don't use IE you don't need it.

In this way I surf knowing that every site which I have not manually put in either Restricted or Trusted will always be in my Internet zone where everything is OFF. To me this makes more logic since every such site (which is not in another zone) always will end up as being in the internet zone :-)

quote:Paul Rupe (http://"http://www.geocities.com/u82011729/prox/css.html") was the first to do this, afaik, my entire filterset was designed around his excellent filters
Has anyone here toyed with the idea of using CSS or Javascript to eliminate, hide or disable certain ad containers?
One way in which my current config set differences from Paul Rupe's examples, is that I commented out the .prox:before and :after pseudo-classes, to completely hide kilt content.
Your iframe hider is a good example of the power of CSS, but remember you can also completely deactivate them (in Opera at least).

I have a question that might be alittle off the subject, but I thought I would ask. I know that I.E. is full of security holes, and Opera is considered to be one of the most secure Browsers you can use. I have heard different things about Netscape. What is your opinion of NetScape? Is it pretty secure or should it be use with caution?
Have A Great & Wonderful Day My Friends!

Any recent browser but MSIE (and Netcaptor, and other "browsers" which use the MSIE engine) is fairly safe.

As indicated in the thread, Mozilla has fixed this problem, but the last that I heard, Netscape hasn't even responded to this, much less than fix the problem.

As for IE, you guys probably won't agree but it seems to me that IE is full of security *patches*. 10000+? That's a bit of an exaggeration isn't it? Last count I heard was 14 unpatched security holes.
http://jscript.dk/unpatched/
I think that all browsers have security holes. IE, Opera, Netscape, Mozilla - ALL of them. If IE appears to have more holes then isn't that just an evident token of the fact that the vast majority of researchers studying these things spend most of their research effort looking for ways to exploit IE? A lot of people hate MS a with a passion you know. If these researchers spent an equal amount of time and effort trying to break and exploit the other browsers then they might find just as many holes, perhaps more and they might not get patched as quickly.
Look at it this way, if I did a study in your neighborhood to determine whose yard has the most litter, and upon completion of my study I reported to the newspapers that *your yard* was by far the trashiest, wouldn't you and your friends in the neighborhood take issue with those findings if I had spent 95% of my time meticulously scouring your yard for even the tiniest piece of litter and the remaining 5% in the other yards? What if I arrived with a whole team of independent garbage analysts and all of us decided to scour your yard only leaving just a few to examine the other yards in your neighborhood? Wouldn't you think we were being biased? Would you question our findings? Of course you would.
So IE is a very good browser. Opera is a very good browser. As for Netscape, it's dead, and I see Mozilla as nothing more than a frantic effort to resuscitate a flat-liner. Just my 2 cents.

THANKX for All the Replies!
I value them all because I think that you guys know what you are talking about! I highly reguard your opinions. However, since I can detect some "Healthy Debate on browsers Coming on", I thought I would move the question to http://asp.flaaten.dk/pforum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=&TOPIC_ID=533 since browser security is moving away from the original topic that first started this subject folder. Good healthy debate is good, because that's the way we all learn. By honestly examining all the evidence and making a decision based on what left standing after eveything else has been torn down. But after the smoke clears, lets all still be friends. The Definition of a "Good Friend", is someone who knows everything there is to know about you, . . . and Stills likes you! LOL!
I hope you have a Wonderful & BLessed Day, My Friends,
