FlashBlock is another one of my essential addons :)
Let me put it this way: I don't have any sort of documented reading
disability (ex, I've always done well on reading comprehension tests). But
dispite that, I find it nearly impossible to read anything more than a
single trivial sentence whenever there's anything moving, blinking,
spinning, a slideshow, etc anywhere near the text (or when there's a voice
reading it to me). It's not just annoying, it's a genuine distraction that
my mind is simply unable to block out. Plus, as far as I'm concerned, there
shouldn't be any moving, spinning, pulsating, animating crap to be blocked
out of my mind in the first place.
