Just reading a thread and noticed that a program called Skimlinks is now running on the board, I don't mind the adverts as they create the revenue to keep this place going, but Skim links and other programs which highlight choice words in a block of text and then provide a clickable link on those words is somewhat annoying.

It's much better than it was.

The links it does are destinguishable from a normal hotlink and they seem to have got their scripting sorted out, it used to cause horriffic lag.

I don't find it too intrusive.

Skimlink: ebay

Best guesses as to how to enable adverts but shitcan the skamlinks? AdBlock nukes them both.

Bear in mind that I try very hard to profess insouciance, so I'm unlikely to try more than a couple of solutions.

You need to block scripts from skimresources.com

I'd suggest the "yes script" add on in mozilla which operates a script blacklist system. Scripts are allowed globally unless you block them

Noscript works well but is more for the porno sites paranoid. Operates a whitelist, scripts are blocked globally unless allowed.

Hat tip for that. NotScripts on Chromium does the trick.
