RickRoll protection

First off, this won’t work without Firefox. If you aren’t using it, then why are you on this site? OK, fine you have to use it at work/your grandson told you to click on the big e/Insert excuse here. I won’t hold it past you this time. If you’re curious to know what Firefox is, then click on the banner below.

Firefox 2

Got Firefox 2 installed now? Feeling adventurous and got Firefox 3? Well, read on.

If you are unaware of the rick roll phenomenomenom ( can never remember how to spell that word), then most likely you won’t need to read the rest. Or maybe, you got rick rolled and didn’t recognize what it was. If you don’t know what it is, then this wiki page can explain it.

Now if you’ve gotten rick rolled before, and you’re wondering how to stop it, I found a very nice solution. It requires the Ad Block Plus add on. What it is, is that there is a website in which users can submit links that rick roll people, and it is added as a blocked advertisement. It’s very simple, and it only requires that you subscribe to the list. When I say subscribe, I’m talking about a two click process here, not as in giving your email or name. It’s a very nice solution, and I don’t remember a time that I have been rick rolled.

Head over to the Rick Roll Database to rid yourself of all rick rolls forever, or find some rick roll links that most people never heard of and rick roll your friends (as long as they haven’t read this blog post as well).
