Paul,
I just started blogging and was not happy about the Snaps either.
Here is a blog entry to turn it off Snaps in your blog settings on your site so the end user doesn’t have to deal with it at all.

why don’t you just block the sites from which the snapshot comes?

Thanks for this tip Paul. I absolutely hate snapshots. Maybe if they see more and more people activating the cookie, they will start to get the hint.

Paul, you are definitely not alone with your aversion. These snapshots could be an added feature in the right place, but in the most places I found them they are a mere annoyance in a big number. And it’s distracting if you have to concentrate on your mouse position instead of the text or image. So thanks for the tip how to resolve it on the users side. The only drawback of this is that it might not work for somebody like me who is killing all cookies beyond a selection when exiting the browser (you know those Europeans: crazy about the protection of personal data…)
