Bucky attack!
« on: September 03, 2010, 06:30:57 PM »
Today Google artwork on the www.google.com.au search page is displaying a 25th anniversary of Buckyball - yes very nice....   However this Java? scripted rolling buckyball artwork maxes out my CPU to 100%!  It makes navigating away from this page difficult especially if using a link contained inside a folder on the Bookmarks Toolbar.  I have Flash blocking to avoid this issue with Flash adds..
Does anyone know if there is a way to determine Java scripted? CPU  consuming graphics and block those also?
Thanks in advance..

It's not a flash, it is a PNG image animation.

AdBlock can block it:
