That's all I'm alowed to store.


Adblock is tiny. Very tiny. As in, less than 100kb if I'm not mistaken. If you want to block an ad, or any image for that matter, simply do the following:

    1. Right click the image after installing Adblock and press 'Adblock image' from the drop down menu.

    2. A little box should appear with the location of the image (http://www.website.com/adnamehere) in the middle. You can press the OK button to block that image, but chances are it will appear 99% of the time again anyway. But there is a way around that. (http://www.website.com/*) That little * will block any images that load from that website.

    3. To get rid of most ads on Neo, add these filters to Adblock
    a.tribalfusion.com/*
    network.realmedia.com/*
    burstnet.com/*
    servedby.advertising.com/*
    ad.doubleclick.net/*
    ad.sensismediasmart.com.au/*
    clickagents.com/*
    partner-source.com/*
    adlog.com.com/*
    altfarm.mediaplex.com/*
    cdn.fastclick.net*
    ads.acventures.biz/*
    a.as-us.falkag.net/*

    To add a filter, go to Tools > Adblock > Preferences
    Then, simply add all these filters in and you should have a much cleaner Neo. Please note that not all of these filters are from Neo ads, but adding them won't hurt you nonetheless :)

I don't even use the tabs; I don't really see the point. Why have a tab when you can open and close a new window just as easily? But anyway...


Opening another tab uses less memory than opening a new window. Also, it's so nice and organized. ;)

Well... hm... in the future, the memory management will be done more effectively, but right now the memory usage of, say, 10 tabs compared to 10 windows is about 2~5% higher on a Windows box. Nothing that will get in the way of anything, as that's insignificant in any box with over 128 MB.

However, about the why use tabs question: because it's much more organized. You can have many sites open at the same time and still not clutter your taskbar. All of the browser-related things stay in one place, very accessible, easy to recognize and mess around with.
