    Grin Blocking a webpage link

    So I know how to block access to a webpage via the hosts file, but I'm more referring to blocking references to links

    such as catching Google as a link

    Specifically I want to never see recommended pages again in facebook. You can block this by blocking the text http://www.facebook.com/ego_redirect.php*

    What I'm asking for would pick up this url and block both the text link and the img link. Is this possible? I would imagine it would be akin to some sort of adult blocker type of filter.

    Have you tried adding that URL into Adblock (assuming you use it)?

    there's probably a greasemonkey script for that.

    There is! I managed to fix it using greasemonkey. Pity that means it's not a fix I can do in IE, but you know...work computers ><

    I must have dropped all of my geekery and replaced it with ignorance, b/c I never did figure out how Privoxy works.
