For mobile use (esp. for those with tethered and metered data plan) the ability to block bandwidth-wasting elements can be extremely useful, but everyone may sometimes wish to keep CPU (and therefore battery) wasting fluff at a minimum.

Quick googling showed that there are some scripts or CSS "user styles" being used with Midori, which is likewise based on WebKit. Could any of these be used with or adapted for Tear?

FlashBlock for Midori (WebKit)

FlashBlock WannaBe

AdBlock in Midori!

The Midori FAQ also lists some user styles and scripts.

And another script, BlockFlash2
Hmmm..If any of these work, perhaps it will deal with that whole memory hog issue I have with Tear. Anyone try any of the above?
