Add the following to your hosts file:

  # Web toolbars/widgets
  127.0.0.1       wibiya.com
  127.0.0.1       cdn.wibiya.com
  127.0.0.1       apture.com
  127.0.0.1       www.apture.com
  127.0.0.1       cim.meebo.com

In this case, the top toolbar is from Apture and the bottom from Wibiya.

Thanks for taking the time to track these down. (I love a rant with a happy ending.)

Or simply install NoScript, and worry about whitelists, not blacklists.

I can get at the content there with no trouble, and don't have to worry about any of those toolbars.

I've used NoScript, and it's extremely annoying having to enable it on each site you want it on. Not to mention blocking it in the hosts file automatically blocks it in all browsers, and that I don't agree with some of the things the NoScript author has done (http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/05/01/236248).

NoScript is a symptom, not a cure. I haven't yet figured out a good name for the disease though.

Thanks for the list

Just added these to the "Adblock Plus" Preferences in Firefox (under Tools).

Worked like a charm.
