Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsSo where would I get started making an add on for Firefox?
Specifically I *HATE*, repeat *HATE* when websites black out and ask if you want to leave feedback, take their surveys, or want to talk to a representative. I'm buying a new laptop and this is happening constantly.
I want to eliminate that. How would I go about doing this?

I almost never (like maybe once per week or so) see those popup surveys.

Stay away from those crazy RW propaganda sites, and maybe this won't happen to you!

Requires some work, doesn't automatically do it. You have to customize it for each site, or individual ad, but if it's a site you frequent it's helpful.
