*Adblock Plus* is a Firefox add-on that allows you to *block ads that appear
on web pages*. Adblock Plus is supported by over forty filter subscriptions
in several different languages which automatically configures it to block all
known malware domains. Adblock Plus also allows you to customize filters
including a context option for images, a block tab for Flash and Java
objects, and a list of blockable items to remove scripts and stylesheets.
Adblock Plus sits in the bottom-left corner of your Firefox navigation bar.
Clicking on the red icon will bring up a list of blockable items on the page,
while a drop-down list reveals more features and configuration options.
Adblock Plus works by identifying the advertising source on a web page and
completely preventing it from appearing. There is, of course, the risk that
Adblock Plus could accidentally block something that isn't actually
advertising which could prove frustrating when accessing sites with a lot of
pop-ups and Flash content. If Adblock Plus does block a legitimate object,
the developer website provides information about what to do. There are few
downsides to Adblock Plus although you might find that viewing the net with
no ads means many pages look a bit empty. *Adblock Plus is a very powerful
Firefox extension that will be loved by all those that hate ads interrupting
their viewing or that may pose a security threat.*Download *Adblock Plus
