Just disable JavaScript. NoScript enables you to manage these rules per site.
To me, eWeek is very barebone and clean (Firfox). Thunderbird, on the other
hand, has JS permanently disabled, but there's no ad blocking. eWeek airs some
of Microsoft's anti-Linux Big Lie.

Many of these 'open source' projects are only means for Microsoft to add value
to proprietary SQL Server, SharePoint, etc.
I used to think that my MATLAB code could truly be Open Source. How wrong was
I. For simple code blocks, Octave might help resolve the equivalent of what
RMS called 'the Java Trap'.
