Use Firefox to Fix the Web’s Biggest Annoyances – Annoyances – Lifehacker
If you’ve spent more than 5 minutes browsing around the web lately, you’ve no doubt dealt with greedy webmasters assaulting their readers with awful ads and more—but Firefox makes it easy to take back control.
Blocking Unnecessarily Obnoxious Ads
Without question, obnoxious ads are out of control on the web these days—you can barely move your mouse across a page without ads moving around, popping up, taking over the screen or pretending to be a dialog window indicating impending doom if you don’t pay for a system scan NOW. These ads can be put in their place easily, using everybody’s favorite Adblock Plus extension. Lifehacker is, of course, an advertising-supported site—so we’d be grateful if you’d keep us on the whitelist—but it’ll do a charm for those flashing, pop-up-ing, overlaying, obtrusive ads all around the web.
