Almost Ad-Free browsing (Firefox Only)

Postby SonicSpeed on Mon Aug 08, 2005 1:25 am

After searching for a new build of Adblock, an extension for FF. I found this in one of their forums.
First you must download Adblock or Adblock Plus (both free) and then open notepad (or any text editor) and create a file with this in it
Code: Select all
[Adblock]
/\D(588|468|234|120)x(600?|120|90)\D/
googlesyndication
us.yimg.com/a/
/\/buy_assets\//
/[\W\d_](top|bottom|left|right)?banner(s|id=|\d|_)[\W\d]/
/[\W\d](double|fast)click[\W\d]/
/[\W\d]click(stream|thrutraffic|thru|xchange)[\W\d]/
/[\W\d]value(stream|xchange|click)[\W\d]/
/[\W\d]dime(xchange|click)[\W\d]/
/[\W_](onlineads?|ad(banner|click|-?flow|frame|ima?g(es?)?|_id|js|log|serv(er|e)?|stream|_string|s|trix|type|vertisements?|v|vert|xchange)?)[\W\d]/


Save the text file, then open Firefox, goto Tools, Adblock (or Adblock Plus) then goto Preferences, click Adblock Options, then Import Filters, then click the file you saved.

Then you can surf the net almost ad-free... There are some that can get by, but then you can use adblock to individually block those out...

There are other ways as well

Adaware inlcuded with Tweakxp is an intelligent adblocking service that lets you add domains of ad services. And it works on IE

EDIT:

Just realized it works in opera too :)

"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere."--Thomas Jefferson
