NYT: Just click on the sentence!
-
I noticed this on a New York Times story (here). I haven't figured out how to double-click on a phrase yet, but I've tried triple-clicking, and highlighting then double-clicking. No go !
Not the mention that this feature is painfully annoying, since whenever I try to copy a name or place by double-clicking it, I have to close the window that pops up...

Add this to Adblock's blacklist:

I'd do a Greasemonkey script but i can't be bothered. And if you don't use a Mozilla based browser, well then, I hate you.

Good point, I should have done that. But I don't really read NYT enough for it to matter, just once because I had to do some research on those Elbonian (fine, Estonian) attacks.

When I double-clicked on "attacker" (as a test) I got the following advertisement:
Attacker
