Adblock Tip

Saturday, March 27, 2004

Here’s a tip for you guys who use FireFox and the Adblock extension. Now every time I saw an advertisement I didn’t like I would right-click on it and use Adblock to block the image. That worked, and the image disappeared. But the link that the image was linking to was still there! So sometimes, when I would click on a bit of white space where the blocked image used to be, I’d find myself taken to another site. Which became really annoying after a while. So, I played around with the options to find a way to fix this. I went to Tools > Adblock > Preferences, and then selected “Remove Ads” at the bottom. When I restarted the browser, the links were removed! Problem solved. smile

Maybe it was just me who was doing this but someone else might find this useful, right?
