IE9 Adblock

[Shyatic]

Just an FYI, IE9 has the Tracking Protection List built into it; and EasyList offers a tracking protection list too!

Enjoy folks, easy as pie to block ads. It's not very robust but it will do the job in a pinch!

Simple Adblock is now paid with a 250-block trial limit. :/

How much longer before Neowin shuts this post down... :whistle:

After installing these, I'm still seeing some flash ads. Do these block all ads?

[osm0sis]

AdMuncher is fantastic as well and works for all browsers and any other programs that might get ads via internet (WLM, etc.), and blocks more complex items like flash ads in youtube videos, etc.

A few other points of interest:

If you can hunt down the last Simple Adblock Beta apparently it's just as good as the release version of Simple Adblock with no restriction ;)

Here's a site with all the unofficially supported EastList produced TPLs: http://dayngo.com/static/filter.html

and Fanboy seems to be outright supporting TPLs now: http://www.fanboy.co.nz/adblock/ie.html

Someone's also come up with a way to do elementhiding (for use with TPLs): http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=18511915&postcount=71

Cheers!

Ad Muncher is by far the best. It's just too bad it's so expensive.

The only thing that's stopping me using IE9 as my default browser is it not being able to block youtube video ads, is there anything available for that?

Yep it is the best. Luckily I got my license a long time ago when prices were cheaper. Agree it is to expensive now though sadly. I wonder why they increased the price so much ?

I haven't tried this myself but I think you could just block videos on all sites other than the ones you mark as trusted etc?

There is AdMuncher, as previously stated in this thread.

Yeah but being a student, I don't really have the money to spend on an adblocker :rofl:

[Shyatic]

This is just a simple way to have adblocking capability for IE9, without any frills. That's all I posted it for. If you want the advanced benefits of a full adblocker, there's no doubt you can go to Firefox or Chrome, or buy AdMuncher; but that really isn't the point of why I posted this :)

[osm0sis]

You just asked if there was something that could block the youtube ads, not whether you'd have to pay ;)

I lucked out and got one of those "premium 4.x" licenses for $25 back in the day before they hiked the price.. Though I did just buy a double premium lifetime subscription knowing that 5.0 is coming soon. AdMuncher's got longevity, so I have no doubts my investment was worthwhile.

[cork1958]

Thank you :yes:

Has been corrected.

By the way, I have Ad-Muncher and I can run every browser pretty fine. I just have removed Firefox from its protected list because ABP is giving wings and working much better/faster, more compatible.

Sadly, I realized that running IE 9 with TPLs, becomes a bit slower... So, with Ad Muncher I don't need 'em. Only using the "personal list" and actually don't need that list too.

To be honest, I'm extremely happy with IE 9 as secondary browser. Actually I use it regularly.

Same, it is a bit of a worry they jacked up the prices that high since, I wouldn't want to see the death of Ad Muncher for that reason. Wanted to get a 2nd licence but changed my mind.

[funkydude]

Hey folks, whilst I appreciate my TPL site being linked as a solution to ads, I have to say now that I'm pondering "closing it down".

It's been made clear to me that the authors behind easylist don't really want to spend any time on the IE version of this and the existance of the TPL is merely a convinience for those hunting for it, that's why it's not officially supported.

I've since removed all the TPL's from IE9 and use all of fanboy's instead, you can find them at http://www.fanboy.co.nz/ie.html

After adding all of them, I find that in general, more ads are blocked than with the 3 lists on my site. What are your experiences?

[Detection]

From OP - Free > Simple > Works

None of the above are true - 1 forum I visit (Not this one) was my test subject and the advert stayed at the top throughout - IE9 along with its adblocker can KMA

FF with Adblock sorts out any ad anywhere, anytime - no messing

[Flawed]

You can't beat Firefox with Adblock Plus (easylist) + Flashblock. If you want to get rid of annoying gif/blinking animations, just type in the url bar about:config and change animation to none, and blink to false. IE will never beable to do all that. And it's surprising how much faster pages load and how much less CPU it uses compared with other browsers because of this.
