Unclean May 9, 2006 Share Unclean Member May 9, 2006 (edited) After about a day or so of tweaking, I've been able to be nearly ad-free on the internet. How? With a few handy extensions from Firefox. FlashBlock: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/433/ This extension stops all Flash animations from playing unless you click the "play" button. AdBlock Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 This extension lets you block all ads from a specific URL. AdBlock Filterset Updater: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1136/ Blocks commonly known ads Firefox has a built-in pop-up blocker too, so you don't have to worry about those. You can always allow content from trusted sites in case that's an issue. You can also use Adblock to block specific images. For example, say you don't want to see any of the rankings on Gamerscoalition. Just right-click on one of the ranking images, select "Adblock", and block all images in the http://www.gamrs.co/forums/st...er_team_icons/* URL.

Unclean May 9, 2006 Author Share Unclean Member May 9, 2006 hm, another one of those "incredibly useful" kind of posts. what else is up your sleeve? ...maybe like a filter list for lazy people to import? Even better/lazier: the updater updates every 4-7 days. No need to import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goofus Maximus May 9, 2006 Share Goofus Maximus Member May 9, 2006 I just use noscript. Nothing runs unless you give it permission, including javascript, java, flash, or any plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjester May 10, 2006 Share benjester Member May 10, 2006 here is another that I recommend as well. google Preview: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/189/ allows you to see a small window of what the site looks like in a yahoo or google search... (just like ask.com if you have seen that commercial.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclean October 4, 2006 Author Share Unclean Member October 4, 2006 Maybe he meant "my space on the computer screen". I'm just glad other people enjoy smiting internet ads and dashing their ruins upon the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
