Adblocker for firefox

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

In case some of you are slow like me and didn't know about this. It's awesome to surf the internet without a ridiculous ton of ads. Makes Tranceaddict so much cleaner too when looking at the forums.

thanks for the heads up dude

Posted by nekholm on Feb-23-2008 17:21:

Yeah it's good. I recommend it

Its one of the greatest things in the history of the Internet. Makes everything much cleaner, neater and gets rid of a whole pile of crap.

Edit: All that said, click on a few of the TA ads to give Swamper a bit of cash before you adblock the whole lot.

I also use flashblock to manually choose which flash to start.

Thanks for those , I ,for one hadn't got a clue about such devices of internet wizardry . Whilst on the subject, I ve already posted on another forum, but haven't got any replies..does anyone know how to go about blocking domains such as 'Googleadd services' etc ? Many thanks.

Basically adding a * in adblock blocks everything like that.

For instance, for the site

http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/

Adding a filter like http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/* would block everything in that directory, such as files like -

http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/stupid.jpg
http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/herasy.jpg
http://pagead2.googlesyndication.co...ad/cowballs.jpg

Adding a filter like

http://pagead*.googlesyndication.com/pagead/*

Would block http://pagead1.google....... , http://pagead2.google..... etc etc.

Or [b]http://*.googlesyndication.com would block even more, in the same way, like http://asshole.googlesyndication.com, http://silage.googlesyndication.com .

Hope that helps and is what youre looking for. Basically adding a * blocks everything from the directory/website that you replace with a star.

Beware though that blocking too much will remove useful stuff eventually! You gotta strike a balance

Ok I'll share this one with u guys that download alot of livesets and what not off of sites like rapidshare w/o an account. Install this add-on in Firefox:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1306

Now all u do is reboot your modem when your going to download another file from these sites and it will skip the "please wait XX minutes" crap and download away w/o the need to pay for an account or search for a working one.
