I use an older browser because it does what I want. It does not like Meebo, which is being added to more and more websites. Just rolling over the meebo bar shuts down my browser, so I don't even have the option of "hiding" it.
In looking for a solution, I found this article. Seems like I'm not the only unhappy Meebo victim. It appears that letting the offending website know that you object to this advertising tactic may be the only way to curtail this additional invasion of privacy. Anyone had any success disabling Meebo without downloading more software as is suggested by the article? The article has some tongue in cheek humor and language, so be advised.

Have you noticed Meebo, that annoying bar on the bottom of some websites like Boston.com's Big Picture, Men's Fitness, and TVGuide.com? Of course you have. It spits up ads and nags you to share stuff on Facebook while you're just trying to read. It's a website add-on increasingly used by publishers who hate their readers.
