Post subject:  adblocking for firefox

I finally got irritated enough with some flash ads that I did some googling and rather quickly found adblock, a firefox addon to block ads. It's actually really cool. I spent maybe 15 minutes hitting my commonly-read websites blocking ads and suddenly the internet isn't as annoying.

So anyway, here's the link.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10

In most cases you can right-click on something annoying and just choose Adblock (something)... it's easy to block images and iframes that way. When you click it it'll come up with a url... the real trick is to make it general with a *. For instance, I blocked *.doubleclick.* and single-handedly reduced the number of annoying ads by probably half.

For flash you have to got to tools, adblock, overlay flash so that you can left-click on the annoying flash ad, then block that. Anyway, totally worth it, thought I'd share.

Yeah, I've been using that for months, along with NoScript, which is another useful one.

I've been using it for years. ;)
I can't live without the add-ons. Firefox may have it's flaws, but those extensions make it infinitely better then it's competition.
Here's my list.

You beat me to it. Just make sure that if you use filter set G that you allow google ads. The only kind of ads that should be on the net.
