Adblock Plus – Firefox Ad Blocker

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012 (No comments yet)
Prevent ads from annoying you and taking your bandwidth

Having an effective ad blocker is a great thing. Not only do you not see those extremely annoying and sometimes inappropriate ads on pages, since your browser never downloads the graphics for them, the page will load faster, you don't waste ink when you print the page, and the web bugs and cookies planted by ad services to track you are defeated as well!

Further, there are many cases of people buying ad space and then delivering malware through the ads. Because the people who show the ads don't review or approve each one, the chances for abuse are high.

Bonus: Why sites that say adblocking is hurting them are full of it.
