Firefox extension tip: RefreshBlocker

I'm a frequent visitor of uitzendinggemist.nl. It has an annoying meta refresh on most pages. You, unfortunately, can't remove these refreshes using Greasemonkey. When you remove the meta tag from the DOM tree, the refresh has already been set.

There is an extension for Firefox called RefreshBlocker which blocks those meta refreshes. You can create a white- or blacklist of sites using regular expressions.

What about Jeremy's approach?

It works fine for me, at least in a local page. Are there cases in which this is not an option?
