show_ads

[toni]

I have a problem with opening pages on some sites. I can
see content of the pages with the view-->source command,
but other than that - nothing, it simply halts. After some
comparing it seems that all of those pages have this
script:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.j
s">

And really, without that script pages seem to open fine.
Any soultions or hints?

Toni,
Try adding the below to your HOSTS file:

127.0.0.1 pagead.googlesyndication.com
127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com

This will block that script from loading.
Note: those entries are already included in my HOSTS file (see below)
