Bob,
In my limited experience, if you use Adblock you don't need to worry about the code.

That depends on what you wanna do with it. If you just wanna get rid of the ads, then yeah, just install it and be happy. But if you also wanna use it to get rid of other stuff that's not really ads, like all the facebook junk, then you need to add your own custom rules. But that's really only a matter of copy/paste, or you can try to make your own rules by using the additional Element Hiding Helper add-on, which is pretty easy to use.
I can sense a new project coming on soon.

3 possibilities here
1. you're are extremely bored
2. you enjoy annoying people
3. you want people to stop using SB
what happened to freedom of choice?...i don't use FB and all the other so called social sites, i believe there is a great deal of other people that don't...just let us be
those that like that kind of stuff will use it
everyone wins
wasting your time plastering my screen with a huge back banner lasted all but 10 seconds

The reality is... 99% of the daily traffic either supports SB by being a supporting member, or views the ads (which support SB) or both...
Another reality is this. Most every site on the internet has options to SHARE articles etc on Facebook, twitter, or whatever... It's called "Social media." Facebook is the #2 website on the internet. Twitter is #8. So it's clear that the VAST MAJORITY of internet users DO use Facebook or other Social Media. In fact. ScubaBoard is social media
If you don't like Facebook, then don't click the button.
Not every function will make every user happy. Can you opt out of everything that you don't like on every website you visit? Somehow I doubt that.
This little social bookmark function makes it very easy for those who wish to share media able to do so. For the 6 users who find it so annoying, I am sorry that you find it that way.

Bob... I have created a usergroup called, "No Social Bookmarks" - you can join from your UserCP and Permission Groups. Then they won't be there anymore.
