Saman is the man. The only thing I’m surprised not to see is an ad for In & Out.

Great job on the tips.

Keep them coming

I agree, that’s why I haven’t disabled it completely!

I can understand the idea in a world before tabbed browsing - although I still don’t agree with it!

Hopefully that will be a heads up to webmasters that set their pages to resize. What are they thinking? It’s obviously annoying.

In today’s Web 2.0′ish world, everybody is ajax’ing and using javascript for items left and right. Websites are becoming more than websites, they are becoming online applications. I’m always very weary of disabling javascript because many sites use it so much. I suppose it has never really bothered me that much to where I have been to sites that use resizing codes. Or perhaps they do code that in and it fits the app I am working with.

I posted this tip over at my site a while back (http://www.teckh.com) and someone suggested instead of this, you can add a little extra protection by using the firefox no-scripts plug-in. It stops this little annoyance and many others caused by scripts. Good tip.

I was stumbling a couple weeks back and had way to many sites resizing….drove me insane.

I finally looked and looked in the options until I found it.

Why didn’t you post this a month ago

That’s the point of StumbleUpon - Random sites!

I don’t care about the random sites, and only use it to bookmark.

It’s nice to know other people are annoyed by this. I am going to fix it right now.

good tip saman though i’m the brute force kind of person. haha

sidetrack: i find stumble upon kinda useless. especially when you install that toolbar, then you get a random site, well just my opinion

If Opera users want to to the same thing go to Tools–>Preferences–>Advanced–>Content–>Javascript Options.
You can turn of the desired options there.
