Description Xaver Wurzenberger 2009-11-07 12:44:20 UTC
Version:           1.5.3 (using 4.3.3 (KDE 4.3.3), Chakra KDE)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31-ARCH

All of these animated, blinking flash ads on news sites today are terribly anooying and keep me from reading. As long as we do not have an ad blocker, please give an easy way to just deactivate flash objects in the browser / qwebview/... you're using.
Regards

Akregator uses the Konqueror settings.

Konqueror/settings/Configure Konqueror/Plugins/"Load plugins on demand only" is what you're looking for.

(if it doesn't fit your needs, please fill a wish report for Konqueror)

Okay, but there's a lot of people that won't figure out they have to alter the Konqueror settings. 'Easy way' for newbies as well might be to have a shortcut to the Konqueror settings in Akregator.

I just realized I don't even have konqueror installed. Can I edit the settings anyway and how?

Hi,

I just had the same problem and tried to find out, what changes in the settings.
As far as I can see, you only have to change the line demandLoad=false in
~/.kde/share/config/kcmnspluginrc to demandLoad=true. If the line is not ther, try adding it in the [Misc] section of the file.

Hope it helps. :)
