Firefox add-on to restore PB images

[mklotz]

Over on Chaski a fellow recommended a Firefox add-on that would restore PB images when you view a page containing blocked images...

I added it to my version of Firefox and it seems to be working flawlessly.

He also provided a version for Chrome but, not using Chrome, I can't comment on it.  The original submission from which this information was obtained can be viewed here...

An interesting turn of events Marv. I wonder if this will turn into a cat and mouse game with PB somehow blocking the fix, then a new fix, etc., etc. At least it defeats their heavy handedness regarding the new fees for a while.

It also indicates to me that they didn't think through what they were doing and the impact it would have.  Their blocking scheme is full of holes and they're probably finished as a business entity.

Probably a bunch of (spit) MBAs sitting around a table in a bar and congratulating themselves on their cleverness without thinking through the consequences of their idiocy.

I was never a PB user to any extent, so I am ok with their demise if that happens. Just hope those that used them can collect all their images or already have them backed up before it happens.
