Adblock Plus is a free add-on for the Firefox, Chrome and Opera Web browsers. It is designed to block website ads that you may find annoying, distracting, or detrimental to your privacy and security. Adblock Plus features the ability to use blacklists and whitelists, which can be customized with filters to block all ad content from an entire website or to choose which ad content will be displayed. Content can be filtered by type, by filename or by its specific location on the server. In Chrome, click the Adblock Plus icon, select “Options” and click on the “Add Your Own Filters” tab. For Opera, right-click the Adblock Plus icon, select “Preferences” and click the “Add Your Own Filters” tab. In Firefox, click the Adblock Plus icon and select “Filter Preferences.” Click the “Custom Filters” tab and then the “Add Filter Group” button. Type in a name for the filter group, if desired, and press the “Enter” key. Click the “Actions” button, select “Show/Hide Filters” and click “Add Filter.” http://example.com/ http://example.com/ad-directory/ http://example.com/.swf http://example.com/banner.gif With Adblock Plus, you can also add exceptions to the rules, defined by preceding them with “@@”.
