[Top posting fixed]
Bannerfilter just filters banners and ads, replacing them with a basic
transparent GIF, empty SWF, or empty JS code. It doesn't do the whole
web-site blocking thing, which manglement (sic) have told me is not allowed
at our site - they believe the policy will be sufficient without any
enforcement. Politics - ugh!
I have no interest other than as a satisfied user of bannerfilter. If you
only want to replace banner ads etc, and not restrict access beyond that,
it's a good option IMHO.
Cheers,
James
