I work at a company that develops its web app on Microsoft .NET. What strikes me is that they insist on using the supplied web components. Fair enough, it makes it fairly straight forward to add, for example, field validations. But Holy Shmoley you should see the client-side code it generates. Not necessarily bad code... just loads and loads of unnecessary javascript code all dynamically included.

Call me a glutton for punishment, but I have always preferred just adding my own client side scripting - it's really not that difficult. Unfortunately a lot of the developers here know very little about client side coding and usually just drag & drop the Microsoft stuffin because it's perceived to be easier.

It's the Viewstate that's the real killer on ASP.NET applications. Or at least can be, if you aren't careful.

You mean the fact that it plops in a bunch of hidden fields you were not expecing along with a loooooong encoded string containing the state? Indeed! I have a 340 byte string on one page here that contains the viewstate of just one dropdown box.

So, how do I get AdBlockPlus to work in Konqueror?

I use some /etc/hosts file from a .RU site. But only on my primary machine, since my wife discovered her Chinese websites were useless with it in place.

Write a plugin that allows you to use firefox extensions in Konqueror? (assuming there isn't one already somewhere)

I use AdblockPlus, Noscript, and Cookie Monster to keep my browsing cleaner.
