say good bye to adds or banners


There are lot of boring and annoying ads and banners on websites which you wished were not there but could not do anything about them. Besides being annoying they often take longer to download than the rest of the the page. Adblock Plus gives you the power to get rid of these ads.

What is Adblock Plus?
Adblock Plus is an add-on for Firefox browser which allows you to get rid of text, banner, flash and image advertisements from any website.

The pictures below show the same site before Adblock was activated (left) and after Adblock was activated (right).


















How does it wor
k?

Install it on Firefox and restart the browser. You can choose to let it sit on your status bar or toolbar. click here to download Adblock plus to your firefox.

You visit a site and you see some annoying banner ads. Right click on any of the banner ads you do not want to see and say "Adblock". The banner would be gone and won’t appear next time you visit the site.

It might be tricky to block flash and java content on a page as you cannot right click to get the "Adblock menu". For such cases, Adblock Plus has an option called "Show tabs on Flash and Java". It displays a button saying "Adblock" at the upper right (lower right if there isn’t enough space) corner of every object. Clicking this button will block the object.


install Adblock plus today to your firefox and say good bye to annoying ads and banners. :)
