Why I avoid ABC News’s web site

Not just because it’s just another alphabet group of Democrat political stenographers and propagandists pretending to be objective journalists, but because it’s one of those sites (and there are others) where an embedded video/audio immediately cuts on without my say so.

They also make it hard to figure out how to turn the damn thing off. As Instapundit says, what we need is a browser that alerts us to this crap before it happens and allows us to turn it off with one easy-to-find click.

  1. I use Flashblock on Firefox, works all the time and reduces CPU consumption too. I don’t know whether Chrome has something similar.

    They do, but it has mixed reviews. I haven’t tried it. Also requires listing the offensive sites in order to work properly. A built-in browser feature would be a lot simpler.
