Make browser give a custom made note when re-visiting websites

Lately I’ve been browsing through hundreds of ads on a website similar to craigslist.

How do I disable Facebook "infinite scroll"?

It’s really annoying the way Facebook constantly loads extra items when I scroll down.

How to simulate slow internet connection

I currently deploy with GAE (google app engine) and I try to implement some AJAX validation.
