Ad Block Plus.

This post is with the assumption that you are using Mozilla's Firefox browser. If not, probably, it's already time to change over.

This short post is to let you know the most useful add-on I have come across in Firefox. The Ad Block Plus Saves us a lot of time and unease by blocking out the banner ads & the sounds announcing that you have won an Ipod for free. Try it out.


Ad Block Plus


Once you select the filter from your region, it will block out most of the banner ads. You can also add the remaining banner ads by right clicking on it and selecting Adblock.

Obviously, there are 1000's of add on's and you'll find quite a few to your taste and choce, but this one had an immediate impact on our browsing experience. specially on sites like Rediff.com

While a lot of us are happy to have a better browsing experience, theere are worrying sounds from the industry that If it becomes a standard browser feature, (which a lot of add ons do in later releases) it has the capability of kinlling the internet revenue of sites and in turn make internet less profitable. articles like below, highlights the same. And who is at the wrong end of innovation this time, Google !

The microsoft reaction looks interesting. We will have to wait and see how the game develops.
