Tech: Hate ads? Like art? Try out this new Firefox extension.

  • Sick of ads? In this era when it feels like every single page on the Interweb is loaded with ads, you may just feel like blocking them, and of course, many people do. (Hopefully not on this page, though. :( ) Firefox, in particular, allows you to easily sidestep ads.
  • A creative solution Add-Art allows you to replace those ads for Hardee’s with something a little more visually appealing (and less Thickburger) – a display of a contemporary artist’s work, gallery-style. Those spaces are gonna be there anyway. Might as well not be blank, right? source

It’s still up as of this moment. We’d show you the photo, but it’s got a lot of nipples in it. source
