My opinion on this may be held to be controversial. I feel that ad blocking is a two edged sword. Many websites are kept going solely by advertising. Yes, they annoy the hell out of me but I put up with them. My feeling is that without the ad's the web would not be at the stage of development it is now. It would quite possibly still be at the geeks level of pure text web pages etc. On the other hand of course, some sites are just ridiculous advertising portals full stop. I tend to only visit this type of site once....it soon gets blacklisted :-)
I tend to block the persistent sites like ads.doubleclick that are a nuisance and at times hold up transfers for quite a time. I don't need to Get The Facts, I allow HP, IBM and some others. I shall have a look at the extensions again to see how to permanently block sites from within firefox. Regards Sid.
Believe me, you will love it if you give a try!
