Sometimes you're on a support website, like the phone company's or Microsoft's or whatever, after hours of frustration trying to solve a problem. On the page with the info is some dumb ad for that very service, showing an oversmiley, overcheerful, aren't-everyday-people-wonderful, I-love-my-life, busy
happy person (or family).
Grrr. I am not in the mood to see them right now.
It would be nice if my web browser toolbar had a "HIDE PEOPLE" button that uses developing face-recognition technology to blur out the smiling faces on any page. So I can concentrate on my problem in peace.
Sorry to be a curmudgeon.

Toolbar button to do that very thing. (Not specific to smiley faces, of course.) It'll make your pages load faster, too, I'm sure. [DrCurry, May 05 2008]

Easy enough to zap all images, I'd've thought. |
|

Yeah but what if the "solution" is presented in the form of images? |
|
| |
You're screwed. Especially if the "solution" is smiling. |
|
| |
can I have this in real-life ?... I don't do mornings and meeting smiley people means I either have to get up the energy to match their smug smileyness or the energy to growl convincingly. |

Rather than blur the faces, it should be able to replace the smiles with scowls and make the eyes a bit narrow and hung-over looking. |

Yet another argument for Lynx (he says, using K-Meleon). |

With Opera, you can just turn images off and on with a single click. |
