Description
Devious Technology has built a Firefox only plugin that allows deviants to easily report unruly ads -- audio ads, pop-ups, or attempted malware/viruses. Once installed, a small, blue "!" (exclamation point) icon will appear in the top right of every advertisement on the site. If you encounter a bad ad during your deviantART travels, click "!," select "Report This Ad," and follow the simple instructions on the screen. No advanced technical know-how is required.Click Download File to install!

Interesting. Could this work as a userscript.user.js? I tried, and I can see the blue ! and report ad, although I'm a bit scared to use it, since it seems to send info on the ad I click it on. But that would make it more browser compatible, right?

Never used userscript, so, no idea.
If there's a way to make it more cross-browsery, awesome. I like the ease on installability on this one.
It definitely sends info about the ad you're looking at. That's the point.

A userscript would definitely be a nice feature, since installing one doesn't require a browser restart.
