Why not just use a personal style sheet. Put a script on it that looks for
webbugs and changes the html so that they are ignored by the browser.
Should be easy enough to do in IE (might try it if I get a minute), dunno if
Netscape supports this kind of thing though

It should be possible to put together software which at least alerts the
user of the presence of webbugs; scans HTML of the website, kicks up a stink
if it sees 1x1 gifs which are from a different server to other content (esp
the page itself), esp if it sees doubleclick's (or other big ad agencies)
server refered to. By then it is too late of course, unless you can put a
filter between your browser and the net, which can strip out that kind of
crap before the browser gets hold of the page and goes asking for gif. Is
that possible?
