On: Tynt, the Copy/Paste Jerks

[tomlin]

The solution is simple. Don't visit sites that employ Tynt.

Or do what Gruber suggests and block Tynt in /etc/hosts

[bshep → mbateman]

or add it to adblock ;-)

Ah. And I was wondering why I didn't see it anywhere. One more reason to run AdBlock and NoScript.

Not sure why I was downvoted. The premise to kill Flash by not visiting Flash sites gets me upvoted (trendy hate).

I am sure there will be a force-fitted reason coming.

I don't get the average HN user, I suppose.

I'm guessing you were downvoted because your suggestion was neither simple nor a solution. Since you can't easily predict which sites will use Tynt, it's not simple. Since you (presumably) still want to read the content on sites using Tynt, it's not a solution.
