[off topic alarm]
Well, I answered the original question a few times already. So I thought a short 'Privoxy...' will get him going. The other option was not to answer at all.
If someone is capable of using a N800 he sure can find Privoxy on this board or the next...

Now having said that, I'm not saying you CANNOT find the answer EVENTUALLY, but its just as easy to answer the question sometimes than to suggest someone search in a rude manner...
I am also not saying one shouldn't try to find the answer themselves, nor should they expect to be babied, but people need to understand not all answers are easy to find...
lets not turn this into a flame war, but let us all try to be friends and make this community better for ALL, theres no sense in being rude to those that are new, and acting as if you are better than everyone else just because you figured something out that someone else is struggling with...
If there's already a good thread on the subject a link to this is all that's often required, maybe adding a "found this by searching..." This is much more productive than just a "search it" response, as we're pointing each other in the right direction and advising on search criteria used.
As you said we should all remain focused on the positive and friendly community spirit that has shaped this forum into what it is today. And I hear Reggie has helped a little too!

I'm not really the right person to throw the word "privoxy" at 
I loathe the program. It's unnecessarily complicated and unfriendly. I'm only putting the effort in for it on the N800 because there's nothing else available.
In an ideal world Privoxy would shrivel up and never bother me again but we don't always get what we want
I would appreciate it if you could try to remember what you did to turn off those messages though. If I turn off fit to width Eurogamer becomes useable again but I'd rather ditch them altogether. Pretty please

Pretty please

OK. First let's look what's getting blocked on eurogamer:
http://195.157.98.219/adframe.php?n=ab7bf18e&zoneid=13
and
http://195.157.98.219/adframe.php?n=a8bf5003&zoneid=14.
Which are ads. I think that's a good thing. All else is displayed fine on my device.
As this is standard behavior, I don't think we can do something about that.

The search was on Greasemonkey. If you find my personal way of being helpful "insulting", then it's best we both do without it.

There's always a modified hosts to stop it before you download it, and the ad-blocking CSS will generally improve flow and get some ads that the hosts file misses.
These solutions are pretty brain-dead, so they're basically failure-proof, and don't require mucking around with privoxy (which was entirely too crashtastic the last time I tried it).
