Another approach might be to start a public campaign directed at IAA, 
Matrix Israel (<http://www.matrix.co.il>, which advertises at the bottom 
off the home page that they are responsible for inflicting the  site), 
pointing out that even people who don't run Windows may need to know 
about aircraft takeoffs and landings. (FWIW, Matrix is seriously in bed 
with Microsoft.) A wider campaign couild also remind the various kupot 
h.olim that even members who don't run Windows get sick, and need to 
retrieve their lab results.

Tweaking browsers for one offending site at a time is not an effective, 
let alone efficient, way to deal with the problem.
