Blocking Ads and other annoyances

Ever wanted to block those annoying ads on some of your favorite websites? If you are a Firefox user it is only a few clicks away. Firefox has many “add-ons” that allow you to add functionality to the web browser. Many of these are created by Firefox users. Adblock Plus blocks graphical advertisements from known ad networks. When I first used it I was amazed how it cleaned up many of the sites I used on a daily basis. You can also get Flashblock to stop animated movie ads from playing as well. There are many other useful “add-ons” that can enhance your browsing experience with Firefox. Check them out at http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

If you don’t use Firefox (a FREE internet browser like Windows IE) I suggest you download it now and give it a try. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/firefox/
