Tired of those nasty advertisements on some sites?

If you use firefox, here are couple things you may be interested in.

You can download an add on called NoScript. It gives you complete control over what scripts your computer will run when it goes to a website. You can shut off google ads or other offensive data with it.

Also a nifty little trick is to right click on an offensive picture (say an ad on an email site you use that always has half naked women on it) and you can block any images that come from that site that is provided the image.

Be aware some of the sites when they find you have blocked the image load a flash version of the ad (not many but some) and then you may have to turn off the flash script or forbid everything on that page and then only allow the base website.

Just a couple of tricks to keep the nastiness to lower levels.

Oooh! Thanks!

I've been using Proxomitron, but it doesn't work against any of those newer flash adverts. I also very much dislike all those "BETTER THAN BOTOX" and "YOU LOOK OLD SO USE OUR PRODUCT SO YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE GARBAGE" ads.

This is VERY helpful!
