No kidding :) I did find Konqueror has the features that are needed (I think, 
we need a list.) I should do more research before sending email, but TorK 
indeed disables the necessary things and Konqueror supports AdBlock filters 
so I added the same filter for FireFox AdBlock Plus to Konqueror. I kept 
links as anonym made a good point the only users running links most likely 
know what they are doing.
