It can block images whose address is not the same
as the page you are displaying. A lot of advertising
images are sourced from outside addresses.

I imagine you would get them from Slackware 12.

I recommend against upgrading the libraries in BL3.
BL2 is a much better platform for upgrading. It
was probably a mistake for me to give instructions
for upgrading the libraries in BL3. Installing the
bloated glibc2 library and the fancy Opera browser
undermines the purpose of BL3.

Bl3 was designed for old laptops too slow to run
a modern Linux distribution. The purpose was to
provide a worthwhile Linux foundation and some
useful applications (magicpoint, AbiWord, sylpheed
and links2). BL3 is for 486s and low-end Pentiums
with low RAM and limited HD space. It is not
intended to be a platform for upgrading to more
modern libraries and applications.
