| can anyone recommend me a good plugin for firefox that blocks advertisements? I really would prefer one that doesn't add some kind of stupid toolbar |

| Are you sure you want to risk missing some important advertisement . . . an advertisement that could change your life? For instance, what if you suddenly feel like you want a Korean wife or a larger penis and you can't think of where to get one? Well, that's exactly what those ads are for. They are there for you. Don't block them. |

| Haha, well that is a valid point, however I'm not a giant fan of the trojans that sometimes accompany them, depending on the seediness of the site (although I've gotten things from failblog, imageshack, photobucket, and other theoretically reputable sites) |

The best ad-blocker I know of (and use) is Quero Toolbar, although if you don't want a toolbar, then it's not going to be of much use to you.
Just a suggestion.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748/ - Greasemonkey can be used with user made scripts from userscripts.org to block ads from particular sites; here are some which you might like. Grooveshark ad blocker - http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/84896 - http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/84896 Last.fm ad blocker - http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/74283 - http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/74283 Youtube ad blocker - http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/68278 - http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/68278 And there's millions (literally) of other addons which you might like with Greasemonkey, like a last.fm page updater and new themes for some sites. All you have to do is install greasemonkey then hit the install buttons on the Userscript pages. -------------

Darn. You can choose to have the ABP icon show up in your toolbar or status bar, or neither. I keep the icon in my status bar for quick access in case I need to disable it. ------------- http://dweettoonzip.bandcamp.com/ - My neo-psychedelic post-industral post-lo-fi music . |
