Ad blocker, NO MORE CREEPY GOOGLE ADS. - Computers - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Sam the Caveman · 06-08-2011, 12:21 AM

I'm so relieved about my recent find.

Firefox has an ad blocker plugin that stop all those creepy google ads that seem to bombard you on every website of whatever you were shopping for last.

This is so annoying. I was shopping for my gf's birthday the past few days and when she used my computer, every website she went to, there were ads of the exact item I'm going to buy her.

I don't have the link for the free program, just look it up. Its called ad-blocker plus, and its for mozilla firefox.

Just a tip for those of you who hate google ads as much as I do.

IC mag ads are unaffected. I don't mind them at all, as long as they aren't floating across the screen.

I've been using Mozilla for years for the very reason you've mention.
I like a lean mean OS.

Yup, especially the latest version.

My gf uses internet explorer and has numerous toolbars stacked across the top of her screen, I think 3 or 4 and she doesn't use any of them.

Been a Firefox fan for years, Ad Block Plus and No Script make surfing or shopping online cool again.
IE is a total POS.

The Firefox add-on Ghostery is great for blocking tracking sites.

Except most sites just don't work... constantly have to allow scripts & cookies... ya know, make temp exceptions... even here.

Actually, it works even on ads on ICmag if you desire.. mouse over any of those ads and a tab will appear at the upper right corner of the that sez 'block'.. if this doesn't work, you can right click on it and it will give you an option to block the image. That along with script blocker and ur runnin good.. script blocker can be a bit of a pain, but it stops malicious scripts from being run on your machine..

mgk
