Cruelty Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Hey, I just installed Adblock for Firefox 1.04 and I have a question about a couple of features. I have everything enabled except two features: Obj-Tabs and Site Blocking. Should I enable these features or are they unnecessary? What do these features do?

gur713 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 objtab will give you tab on top of elements like flash so its easliy blockable although it gets anoying after a while. site blocking is if you permanently want to block a site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gur713 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 btw there is an enhanced version of adblock called adblock plus, you can grab it here http://bene.sitesled.com/adblock.htm it ads featuers such as whitelisting synchronisation and div blocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find all the info here: http://www.geocities.com/pierceive/adblock/settings.txt 585979507[/snapback] That list bogs Firefox, there's just too much. I'm using a shorter list with better filter entries, and it doesn't slow things down. I don't remember where I got them, but here they are. adblock.txt adblock1.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gur713 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 filterset g is basically those, those are just longer while filterset puts them together adblock.txt is 12kb while the ones on tech site are 4kb, i doubt they will slow them down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I tried one of those lists though, it bogged everything down. I don't claim to know why, it just did. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanboynz Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 as good as preceive's list is, I find it still limited, ofcourse my list isnt perfect, but it includes a lot of extras that perceive doesnt include. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gur713 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 hey thanks, i needed a static file :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanboynz Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 hey thanks, i needed a static file :D 585980885[/snapback] I found adblock-plus kinda buggy, the hack sorta works fine, but adblock-plus needs a little work. The filename will remain static however :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yochanan Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 :pinch: I just realized why I thought Filterset.G made Firefox slower. I appended it to my current filter list list (adblock.txt appended with adblock1.txt), without thinking about it. That must've been it. But those two together work fine, I hardly ever see an ad. If I do, I just create a custom filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's with that? 585981042[/snapback] tools menu should be there, try uninstalling first, restart firefox, save the .xpi to your hdd, and drag&drop into your extensions window.

It might have conflicted with SessionSaver somehow, my saved session didn't load after the installation. I ended up restoring a backup of my profile. Ah well.

His list is the best hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
