Instead of advertising the companies that sponsor these sites, allowing them to give you the content you desire or request, you are advertising the artists, who could care less why you are on this site in the first place. Sigh.

I had problems with it slowing my browser too. (sometimes crashing it) I’ll look into the fix.

The ads became black boxes after I installed it but Steve has the fix for that here.

Works great now. Love the concept and exhibition. Now if someone would just develop this for television…

@Sean: Steve is constantly working to improve the add-on, but to be honest, I haven’t experienced the same issue: I find most of the ads on the sites I visit are replaced. You can make comment about that issue though on the add-art forum and Steve will address it directly:

love the idea

Just installed it, and the execution doesn’t seems so hot. All the ads disappear, but many of them aren’t replaced with art. My screen seems lonely.

On Kennon’s blurb I think you mean RFK was killed in 1968, not JFK.

Actually, I have no control over that. The add-on works on most ads but not all.
