Editor's review of Adblock Plus

This Firefox extension saves bandwidth and Web site loading time by blocking banners and other ads. Adblock Plus effectively blocks online ads from a predefined list of ad providers, and you can easily expand the list by clicking on an advertisement.

Adblock Plus runs unobtrusively in the background and has no true interface. However, right-clicking an ad brings up a bland, text-based message box, through which you can easily add to the list of blocked ads. Removing an ad from the blocked list also is as simple as clicking and choosing the appropriate option.

Any Firefox user annoyed by a barrage of advertising will appreciate this free extension. Recommended.

  Hard to install: What's a .xpi anyway?

  by: Rich Devens on 26-Apr-2008 03:12:46 PM

  Pros: Still blocks ads well, I like that! No ads is SO awesome!

  Cons: The .xpi file was as useful as a dead raccoon; I went to Wladimir's site and got it to download properly there.
