Filtering My Internetz For Win!
ProCon Latte - Firefox Add On.

I tried it yesterday but I must have been really tired, because I didn't think things through and ended up uninstalling it. But today, staring at it again, my brain clicked in.

- Download and install.

- Restart Browser

- Go to Main Filter

- Click Enable Explicit Material

- Click on Edit List

- Delete all the blocked words.

- Delete all the blocked sites.

- Go down to FILTER ACTIVITY and choose Blocked Sites

- Go back up to Blocked Sites and add in all the URL's of everyone in Racefail you'd rather not accidentally click a link for ever, ever, again.

- PS: There is no need to add a * wildcard.

- Press Apply.

- Watch them all vanish from your internet experience.

I tried it just now and I can still load livejournal proper on Firefox, I just can't load those pages. And I don't have to worry about having more than 6 or 14 sites as per the other filter content add ons available.

And it feels so damn good - especially considering that minutes before I clicked on a link and ended up a greyworm's LJ, having forgotten for a moment just wtf that spectacular human!fail was. I only remembered while I was reading and going WTFF??!!

Now? No more worries about stumbling into something that will raise my blood pressure.

*hugs to [info] - personalquivo who offered a possible script* - Please don't bother yourself unless it's something you'd like to offer everyone who'd prefer NOT the pages to load with a warning, instead of them not loading at all.

Now I just have to figure out a way to have a handy-dandy portable, easily updatable list of Fail!Authors for whenever I'm looking at books. JJot will only work online. Maybe a list in my phone?
