I noticed today that LiveJournal has joined the dark side, and has splattered those annoying snap preview pop-ups all over its site.
If you have a LiveJournal account, you can turn off this off for your entries and your friends page - in the menu, go to Journal > Settings and you’ll get to a page [...]
Update on the Snap previews pop-up thing: I've come up with a (trivial) Greasemonkey script to disable those annoyances - I call it hover in peace (you can install it from that link if you're using Firefox and have Greasemonkey), and it disables any javascript that is triggered by mouseover events, that is by hovering [...]
