So I was browsing through the internet the other day and got sick of all the ads slowing me down. I was using a high speed line but still I'm about one of the most impatient people I know so I had to figure out how to get rid of them. As some of you might have already found out the good ol Adblock doesn't work with FF2 yet.

Adblock Plus is a program that I ran across and I must be living under a rock cause I have never heard of it. From my understanding it is made by different people that the original Adblock. Adblock Plus was an easy install into FF2 and it has been working perfectly for me. The site that we all know is overran by ads is Myspace; without the ads Myspace is for once faster than the speed of sound. Other sites that have tons of ads also go extremely fast without all the ads loading. Even if you are on a high speed connection, I would still recommend Adblock Plus to you and if you missed the above link just go to adblockplus.org.

Yep, this is the best Firefox extension. I've been using it for years. To make sure nothing slips by, add a few more subscriptions. I haven't seen an ad in a long time. :headset:
