When you're trying to access some information on the web, but the site has some glossy feature (Animated GIFs, Flash, etc. e.g.) that distracts from just concentrating on it's content, e.g. www.london.gov.uk. How to turn this "feature" off?
By the way I'm using IE7 + IE7Pro, and already assigning some sites the IP 0.0.0.0 in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Add the URL of the site to IE > Tools > Internet Options > Security > Restricted sites

You can give AdBlock IE a try. Primarily to block advertising banners.

Does it block the animation on www.london.gov.uk? – Rob Kam – 2010-02-22T15:13:31.573

I have been using Firefox with Adblock and NoScript add-ons.
It works like a charm and makes your browser more secure to XSS and other browser based attacks.
For IE just try Adblock and try disabling the scripts from the IE 7 settings.

I recommend trusty old Proxomitron, a highly configurable global web filter that works for any browser.
Here you'll find up-to-date config files that get your started with Proxomitron.
