what does *$swf block?

[anaheid]

hi,

when you add filter *$swf the filter blocks what?
i have tried it and seems it blocks everything.. including images.

how do you block all images of all websites?

Yes, it blocks everything - because "swf" is not a recognized filter option, meaning that this filter is the same as "*". What you meant to use was probably "*$object" (blocks all Java/Flash object). To block all images you use "*$image".
