Tired of internetisseriousbusiness.com

Using noscript will ruin your browsing experience. Sysrlly.

I agree with the OP, using the hosts file to block a website is probably the best solution, and you'll find that the hosts file can do a lot (considering it only has one function)

Heres an easier way to shut it down:

1. Wait for the jumping window to stop jumping
2. Click on the tab that caused the rickroll
3. Click elsewhere so the browser is not focused on the rickroll link
4. Close rickroll and hold enter

I really do not recommend changing localhost. Some programs are required to connect to it, and you may potentially mess things up.

Simply use NoScript.

Or if you don't like NoScript... *points at Blocksite again*

Lame and unneeded. If you want to get Rickrolled go on YouTube instead.

it lets you choose which things to unblock with a bar on the bottom...

you don't change localhost. you just add another line to /etc/hosts (or whatever).

CODE127.0.0.1 Â Â Â localhost
127.0.0.1 Â Â Â internetisseriousbusiness.com
127.0.0.1 Â Â Â www.internetisseriousbusiness.com

And what happens is any request to inte|rnetisseriousbusiness.com or ww|w.inter|netisseriousbusiness.com gets redirected to 127.0.0.1.

This happens on a global level, so any app that request that site gets redirected to 127.0.0.1. If you happen to use ie7 (or any other browser), this will also work.

You can also block websites this way, or even ads.

It really works great. I went around testing all the rickroll links I could find. =]

thanks acidrain for the idea.

I stand corrected, I missed the "add" part.

REMOVED. No more browser hijacks please.

jumpman17 is doing quite a service to GBAtemp. Who knows how many times he's had to sit through it?
