Are you tired of ads blaring at you with hands waving, blinking images and annoying, disruptive sounds? You're not alone. Many internet users find web ads annoying and intrusive. Some ads may even harm your computer by installing small programs that monitor your activities on the Internet. Luckily, with Mozilla Firefox and an add-on named Adblock Plus, you can easily get rid of ads. Here’s how to install and use it.
Download Adblock Plus. Go to the Adblock Plus download page in Mozilla Firefox and click the Add to Firefox button. This will download and install the latest version of Adblock Plus.
Allow the download. You will see a window that says, “Install add-ons only from authors whom you trust.” If the author is verified as Wladimir Palant, the maker of Adblock Plus, click the Install Now button.
The add-on will take a few seconds to download.
Configure Adblock Plus. Once installed, a tab will open asking you what filters you want to use and what to block. The easiest method is to leave the settings as is, but you can enable malware blocking or remove social media buttons if preferred.
Block any missed ads. Although Adblock Plus is installed, you might come across some advertisements which it does not suspect and it allows to appear. To block a missed ad, hover over it until a tab that says Block appears, then click it. A more advanced method is available for ads that do not have the Block tab, but this step will work for blocking most ads.
