Firefox & Adblock

[shadowninja]

This has to be the best invention on the net. When a website takes ages cos it's loading ads from a remote server, click the Adblock button and it blocks any traffic from the ad webshite (H inserted on purpose). Original website loads so quickly! (Because hundreds of different sites are loading from the same ad server, the ad server can't cope.)

Whereabouts on Firefox is this Adblock button of which you speak?

Hmmm, i must have missed a trick here as i can neither see nor find the AdBlock button

Adblock is an extension you have to download, you can find it on the mozilla website.

Yep, been using it for many months now and it is invaluable!

Fantastic plug in, it lets you block all the tracking ad companies' sites, leaving the ones from the original site there so you can still see ads remotely relevant.

wow, must admit it is very good, don't know why i hadn't seen this sooner but cheers for pointing it out!

I forgot about this thread.

It is like giving a two fingers at ad companies who fill your browser with shite.

I've been using firefox since quite some time and never thought adblock would be worth it, but damn, it is!
It really speeds things up.

Thanks for the tip!
