Phoenix Network Forums

Do you guys have a large filter? Can you share it with me? Thanks. I want to block as much pop ups as I can, especially the annoying ones.

Block the words *ads* hehe.
I've noticed that they are alot of sites using "falkag" ads. So you might want to block "*falkag*".

Use the filter:
*

And now serious.
Their are quite some lists around the internet, google them.

i think barts got it right
but i must admit that the addblocker doesnt really help me much

Have you heard of Filterset G ? There's an extension for it that works with Adblock and Adblock Plus. It's been working very well for me so far, it automatically updates itself with the newest list and blocks most junk. It's pretty popular, surely you've seen it before?

Let me look up a link, here:

QWE DGH

i block them as i go and make use of the * i don't like making them really simple otherwise it blocks too much

but this would not be the best place to ask this type of question as this forum itself is ad supported

I just use Filterset.G and that's enough for me. I mean, I can cope with the ads that get past Filterset.G, considering it blocks all the ad companies with their Flash "punch the money" ads and the ones in popular sites, I can live with the ads in small sites. As long as it isn't Google Ads. Ugh. It seems that the first thing a site with more than 5 hits per day does is to sign up for Google Ads. I keep hearing the "Well, at least Google Ads aren't annoying!" Thing is, before Google Ads showed up, the sites that currently use them didn't have any ads before! And most of the small sites have too few hits to reach the cash limit to get their payment, so they're just giving free ad placement to Google.

EDIT: I'm obviously ok with bigger sites using those kind of text ads, it just annoys me when I go to a site with less hits than a Geocities site and I have to see skyscraper Google ads all over the page.

Btw, anyone knows if there is something like Adblock for IE?

Ok, Thnx! But is there also something that will be incorporated into IE?

Not that I know of, installing FireFox would be my best guess.

Why would anyone that knows about other browsers want to keep using IE? I thought only people ignorant towards web browsers used IE nowadays.
