QuickNote is a Mozilla/Firefox extension that sets up a sidebar for taking notes. It will allow you to gather selected text along with the url.
Jack and were comparing which Firefox we load this morning, and he recommended AdBlock. I asked, “Why don’t you just right click on the image and block the images from the server?” He wasn’t aware of that function, so I tried to find an image to demonstrate. I had to go to seven sites before I found some that weren’t already blocked, including my.yahoo.com, cnn.com, and ustoday.com. I don’t block ad servers until they serve flashing advertisements, so I guess they are fairly common.
I really hate flashing advertisements.
Nice method, definitely, but I prefer AdBlock because it also blocks Flash ads, not just images. Only thing I *don’t* like about it is the weird AdBlock tab that shows up with all Flash, but that’s easy enough to disable in the preferences. (I don’t hate all Flash; once in a while it turns out to be really handy or interesting.)
Hey, Glad you like QuickNote 😀
