There are two solutions I have heard of, neither of which I have any personal experience with. There is a version of JunkBusters for OS/2 (ported ?) {caution: the docs made it look fairly complicated to set up, circa about a year ago, the last time I skimmed them}, and something called SUPERCACHE. The latter replaces the NS cache also, once had a straight-up OS/2 version, but is more recently cross-platform Java. From what I gather, you can set them to "eat" ads (and maybe other designated annoyances . . . leaving blank screen real estate where the ad used to be). I think both are Freeware. If you need URLs for these, let
me know and I'll post them here.
