Is there a web browser that gives you an option to have it determine resizing done when pictures load? I'm sure this was confusing so let me say this...

When I go to a page and 8 douchebags have photos of horse ****s in their signature, and the web pages jumps around like a caffinated toddler, and I go trying to click **** in posts, I always end up going to sites for Hello Kitty 4 Chan reviews and subscription offers for the ****ing Economist.

Since I cannot eliminate peoples love of horse ****s, can I have a browser account for the size a photo will be when it finally loads?

you could use adblock plus and block that posters image.

I second this. Great idea if it's only some isolated cases.

@ Bigtree, if you have Firefox just search for the Adblock Plus addon and install it into Firefox. Then when you restart Firefox, make sure the little stop sign icon with ABP on it is red, then any time you see a horse penis or whatever, just right click it and there should be a "block image" option.

Not sure if ABP is for any other browsers, but I'm sure any sort of ad blocking addon would have the same basic functions.

Okay everyone, I'm in need of assistance. My computer doesn't like videos. Whether it be in a browser or an actual file on my computer, it just isn't a fan. My computer hardly ever freezes because of videos on YouTube, but if it's full screen, then you can bet that it will. I've tried a myriad of solutions, but nothing seems to work. I read somewhere about manually inputting more virtual memory. Right now it says that there is 3.23 gigs allotted, but 4.4 gigs recommended. I'm not saying this is a definite solution, but just something that I noticed. Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks all!

How much RAM is in your graphics card?

CanwllCorfe · 04-01-2011, 08:15 PM

Judging by what it says in the control panel, 3 GB.

You sure that's not your system RAM?
Unless you have a really high end graphics card, it's not 3 GB.
