Editor: Adblock is a content filtering plug-in for the Mozilla and Firebird browsers. It is both more robust and more precise than the built-in image blocker.
Adblock allows the user to specify filters, which remove unwanted content based on the source-address. If this sounds complicated, don't worry: it's not. Just add a few filters. Every time a webpage loads, Adblock will intercept and disable the elements matching your filters. See?- nothing to it.
Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that often take longer to download than everything else on the page? Install
Adblock Plus now and get rid of them. Right-click on a banner and choose 'Adblock' from the context menu ? the banner won?t be downloaded again. Maybe even replace parts of the banner address with Star symbols to block Similar banners as well. Or choose a filter subscription, then even this simple task will usually be unnecessary: the filter subscription will block most advertisements fully automatically.
Whatâ??s new?
