*John* Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I'm looking for a solution similar to FireFox's Adblock, something that will integrate in the browser, not a program that has to run in the background when i'm browsing the web? Does such a solution exist? John :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annorax Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I believe Maxthon (which is an IE shell) has an adblocker, but I have not used it so I cannot vouch for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primexx Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Most IE shells have the feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimy Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 (edited) A bit outdated but here ya go: \-->Ad/Popup Blocking<--/Any 3rd party program with the ability to remove ads and popups is in this section. Still looking for a good free one. <snip> Edited August 21, 2006 by John S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaViD_BRaNDoN Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 (edited) Am using "hosts" file as well - no running programs, no extension, no nothing, just a simple text file. More info at <snip> Edited August 21, 2006 by John S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agnes Leroy Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 (edited) I think <snip> is good in blocking all types of ads. I dont have google adsense ads,no ads on my gmail page etc. Edited August 21, 2006 by John S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symphony Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Although you said no background app, AdMuncher is the best. 8.5 mb of ram, no config needed and "unads" all of your apps. Works fine with ie7 beta3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chavo Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 (edited) <snip> works very well. I was using the hosts file, but there's a bug in IE7 beta 3 that makes each blocked ad show up in the <-Back button history. So if you click on a page with 3 ads you have to hit <-Back 4 times to go back one page, or use the dropdown list. But normally the hosts file thing works perfectly and uses no precious "System Resources" as most ninnies on this site are afraid to give up for some odd reason. Edited August 21, 2006 by John S.

foxconn287 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 (edited) I advise against HOSTS files. If it becomes too large then it could crash your computer. I recommend <snip> It's pretty good. Edited August 21, 2006 by John S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc@home Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) <snip> is the best (IMO of course). Admuncher is also very good, kinda like <snip> with a very good filter set. Edited August 21, 2006 by John S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjectRAGE Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Never had a problem with host files, dont see any crashing and yes they are long..but they work, why download extra resource software when host files work good, sometimes even better, I see no need for extra crap running in the system tray..

foxconn287 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) Hmm maybe it's not an issue with XP anymore When I loaded it up HOSTS files in 2000 Pro services.exe would use 100% and cripple the computer <snip> should be available at oldversion.com and it is a BHO Edited August 21, 2006 by John S.

Somnus Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) <snip> is the best (IMO of course). Admuncher is also very good, kinda like <snip> with a very good filter set. My only problem with the hosts file is the blocks left over from the removed ads. It just looks horrible. Something like <snip> removes the blocks like <snip> does for FireFox. If you can find the beta of <snip>, it still does work for free but can be buggy at times. <snip> Edited August 21, 2006 by John S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvelous Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) yet again <snip> is simply the best in every way from memory usuage to simplicity Edited August 21, 2006 by John S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
