Advertisements on websites are annoying, often breaking up text and flashing to get your attention. To stop about 99% of the ads on the internet from even showing, add the following code to your userContent.css file:
Blocking the Google Ad-sense is not recommended because it is the source of livelihood for many free sites, which includes our own Tech-Arena. But at certain times, these ads cause problems such as improper rendering of layouts, some text or image being hidden behind the Ad, etc. (which I encounter frequently at the Techtree site).
In such cases, it becomes necessary to block them as the main cause of visiting the sites gets lost when we cannot obtain what we have gone there to obtain.
So, here folows the trick :
Google serves their text ads in an iFrame, which to the non-techies out there, is basically an area of a page in which another page is loaded. It may not be clearly distinguishable from the parent page, but it’s coming it’s an external page. Therefore, the key is to block iFrames coming from ad servers, and in this case, Google’s ad servers. Here’s how to do it:
Download and install Mozilla Firefox. It’s a superior browser, and it should be your default browser. Internet Explorer (IE) just doesn’t cut it anymore.
Below is a filterlist for Ad-Block. This is basically a text file that contains names and links of sites which are to be blocked.
By the way, thanks to drgrudge for this one.
Hmm, instead of just copy pasting this thing (u can do one at a time, i believe), so it will be a tedious job…, so just download this notepas file and inport to ur FX list.
And how to do so…
Enjoy browsing…without ads and pop-ups and even images…
Man that was to block pop-ups and this one is to block ADS and images.
Btwn, we will have to carefull in that pop up settings, sometimes, it treats our windows (even u click on a link or say open a poll in some sites) as pop ups as well..
I think its similiar to the ad blockers that came up for gmail,edting the css.This hack from Digital medi minute came up with it last year.Heres how it goes.
