you need to also add the easylist to your ad block plus you can get that here just click where it says add easylist to ad block plus EasyList with firefox and adblock plus and the easylist you can easily get rid of most all ads if they do appear they will have the little block tab that you just click on and block the new ad. It is super easy and definitely worth the minimal effort to get it.

CR only tested 2 models, one rises 8 1/4", the other rises 9 1/2". This is just marginally more than the 7" rise height of my current 16 year old pop-up. There are a few pop-up models that rise 10" and 14" and supposedly a new one from Bosch rises 17". They sound good in theory and anecdotal feedback from fellow GWers bears that up. Unfortunately, until CR tests the taller rising units, it's hard to know for sure if that the extra height sufficiently offsets the downsides CR lists and merits the additional cost. That said, if we had stuck with a plan that called for a cooktop in our island, a tall rising downdraft was definitely high on the list to meet venting needs.

Yes! I'm NOT considering weight loss surgery, I don't have allergies needing pills, the overall feel of the ads are similar to my spam box circa 2003, and the jumping around is driving me bananas! I'm going to run my trendmicro and see if that helps.

I tried to do the honorable thing and write (contact us) GardenWeb about my concerns for the invasive pop-ups....in part, here is what I got as a reply from Garden Web: Hi fireduck, We've got some exciting news to share with you.
