CSS just hide items, but...

If you set a diplay rule to 'none' and/or visibility to 'hidden', you just hide items, but they still get loaded along with the page. What's the point, then? This trick does not reduce page loading time at all...

There should be a way to skip HTTP requests of specified (by name, path, or both) page elements...

the solution is to use commercial filters like NetBarrier, which can easily be configured to deny requests to most ads servers. This way, connection speed improves amazingly!
