Have you been able to block stuff like Tynt, and other copy/paste triggered JS stuff?

I was not aware of Tynt, but I believe it's well blocked.

I just looked at the adblock-hosts file, and 'tynt' appears several times. One of those lines is commented with a link to an article about tynt[0]. I tried copy-pasting from The New Yorker and TechCrunch (who, as claimed by the author of the article, use tynt), and both times there was no crap appended.

Thanks, I may try this out and see if I can move over my few custom blocked sites that implement this stuff.
