how to disable MSNBC's own Toolbar?

Problem with toolbar in pages on any of articles in MSNBC site except front page, they added since I think either last or this month. It is very annoyance while scrolling the page up and down, take a look at and you will know what I mean.

I did try disable Javascript and it clear up and no sluggish while scroll without "MSNBC" toolbar. But I need Javascript's on on front page of MSNBC only (www.msnbc.msn.com).

Here is attached file you need to look at:

I searched Opera Forum site for new JavaScript user for remove or block/disable "MSNBC" Toolbar while enable JavaScript on any pages of MSNBC?

It sometime affect Opera Browser with CPU by slowing down while scrolling. Let me know if you have JavaScript user that will work with this problem?

This seems to work.

Copy the following address:
http://cdn.lib.newsvine.com/_static/js/a7c560210ed43e6a7ca05eb2d2599ece2e435af3.js


Go to Preferences > Advanced > Content and click on Blocked Content.
Click on Add, then paste that address (Ctrl-V, or right-click > Paste) the above address into the focused line. Press Enter, then Close the Blocked Content dialog, and click OK in the Preferences dialog.

If you're already viewing one of the MSNBC pages you'll have reload it (F5 or the Reload button), otherwise the toolbar should be gone.

(If you want to know, I noticed that several items on that bar were related to a site called Newsvine, so I looked for a javascript from that site.)

In the event they change that script's ID number - and presuming you don't intend to use Newsvine - you could just block all similar names by using this instead:
http://cdn.lib.newsvine.com/_static/js/*
