I thought I put this in for today but it went in yesterdays. Via Instapundit.
I just installed for Chrome, and it works great. Mod Sherry
This works for Internet Explorer 8. Copy over the list from the Firefox link and save it to a text file. THe only thing that sucks is that you have to copy over the links one at a time. But it works.

I've installed it also - and I'm going to blog about this kerfuffle on several blogs that I contribute to. I might suggest that the link and instructions be reposted over the next few days.
You know, I can't figure out why any sensible media company would be cooperating in this, since it is so counter-productive. (OTO, it's perfectly clear what Righthaven's motivation is - the $$$!) Here, they could have stories and material from their podunk local newspapers linked and disseminated - and instead, they are turning each of their publications into the equivalent of toxic waste as far as news aggregate blogs are concerned. Is there a short-term benefit - like sharing in the rewards of the Righthaven rip-off lawsuits, at the expense of long-term readership? Perhaps they have decided that print newspapers are dead, so may as well get what they can while the getting is good? Food for thought, anyway.

So, does Stephens Media personnel routinely tell anyone they interact with in the collection of 'news', other than public officials in the release of public information, that the information has, by Stephens own action, value. Does Stephens get a release form that clearly stipulated that the information has value and that the providers may request remuneration for said information. Or is Stephens stealing that of value from people without proper notification for their profit and gain. Maybe, it's time we talk with our state legislatures about protecting the public from this scam.

FireFox works too but you have to open the add-on after installation and copy/paste the contents of the text file into the block site window. Checked it out and it worked fine on lvrj.com

#3 List goes into my router, and DNS relay filter (cache=ing). All those sites are black-holed now.
Oldspook, if you do it this way and you have several computers networked via through the router wouldn't this block all the computers from these sites?
How do you program the router to block these sites?

Since everybody here knows I'm computer-stupid, I'll ask: Anything like this that works in Windoz?
I keep windoz because we have it at work and understanding one thing is all I can manage.

Barb - just because you run Windoz doesn't mean you can't Download/use Firefox as your default browser - I have both IE and FF on my Win XP machine - I only use IE for Outlook and Web-access Outlook Express work links, cuz MS cuts features for those on non-IE browsers. Everything else is Firefox - you can import your bookmarks in a couple clicks. It's safer, better. Trust me

Anybody wanna try this for IE8. I'll try it later but I'm making dinner right now.

That works for IE8. Copy and paste the list from the Firefox link to a text file and follow the steps. The only thing that sucks is that you have to copy them over from the text file one at a time so it's a bit cumbersome. Worth the effort though. Takes about 20 minutes. Fuck Stephens Media...

TIP: Chrome, while a good browser: 'phones home' and 'spies' on you.
Use IRON. Same browser, but no phone home.

Firefox with the proper adjustments and add-ons is still the best browser hands down.

@ Barbara Skolaut. To give you an analogy... Windows is like a 'freeway' you travel on to get on the internet and surf.
Internet Explorer (IE8) is the "car" you are using to 'travel' on the 'freeway'.
Chrome and FireFox (+others) are simply different cars. Accessing the same 'freeway'.
You can 'own' more than one 'car' at a time.
Just like with cars, some perform better than others.
Personally I prefer FireFox because of the features and customizable abilities.
Once you try other browsers, you find many things are similar. Just like with cars.
Once you have a chance to try different browsers you realize there are better ones than the standard IE8 that comes with Windows default.

Thanks (I think), SP. I'll print this out and look at it this weekend.
But I still use Explorer 7 - I made the mistake of accepting a upgrade to 8 (it came from Microsoft, so what could go wrong, right?). As a result, I got a very nasty virus and had to pay to get it removed. Grrrrr.

Barbara Skolaut you didn't get a virus from upgrading to IE8.
You probably got a virus from another source around the same time.
In the future, you can remove most viruses by yourself by running Microsoft Security Essentials or Malwarebytes.
Both are free and very easy to use.
Google both for download.

The U.S. has reserves of oil, coal, and oil shale. Buying oil from the mideast is sowing the seeds of our own downfall and destruction. Ignoring that Saudi Arabia was spending $2 bn/year (largely money we sent their way) for 30 years to spread wahhabism poison is beyond me. This policy has bought us nothing but terror, destruction, and murder. It has emboldened our enemies to plot our destruction and seek world domination. We have too many self-serving "one world" dhimmiwitted politicians (both donk and pubs) in Washington who have not minded the store and allowed this to happen.

The biggest Saudi oil reserves are in barely populated areas that could be easily occupied. A threat to nuke Riyadh, Mecca and Medina would negate threats to fire the well-heads. As for the Kuwait fires; it is true that they took 6 months to put out, but effective control of same was established in 30 days. And there has been much research on quickening the process. Of course, refining facilities would pose a real reconstruction problem: but not to us since all we want is the crude, and could care less if local arabs are forced back to their camels and horses. A post-Obama regime will likely seize the arabian oil patch.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
