Mozilla Ad-Blocker-is it OK to Use?

lennonforever · 09-13-2008, 06:50 PM

Hello all,

Will this FF add-on, prevent anything important from loading on a page?

I mean, is it an OK thing to add, or unnecessary?
Thanks.

I have been using it for several years now without any problems. It does good work. Use adblock plus and adblock filterset. In addition get flashblock since a lot of ads are flash.

As far as blocking anything important - never. One thing with flashblock you may get some thing blocked that you want to see so just right click to view would take care of it.

I am using this, and its brilliant (Adblock Plus), but i have been having problems with advert diversions to sites such as digg.com. I have posted asking for help and don't think it is Adblock's fault. If it is I will post on here, but if it's something else then I recommend it because life is better without ad banners!

Wow, iCurl. That is troubling. Let us know what is going on. Thanks

not sure exactly what you mean by "advert diversions" but I never had any problems with adblock.
