The greatest Firefox feature I've seen so far, click here if you use Firefox! - GoFuckYourself.com

ssp · 02-15-2005, 03:42 PM

I can't believe I haven't installed this earlier!

It's called "Ad Block". It's an extension, which lets you right click on a banner (gif, flash) and block it, or you can set up wildcards to block off whole ad networks.

I wonder how this is going to affect advertising on GFY! If this gets huge, advertisers will have a big problem.

Have a look:

Can you believe it?! But I'm sure there are loads of others who haven't installed this yet, I'm probably not the only slow one.

MrJackMeHoff · 02-15-2005, 03:49 PM

Wow.. All I can say is wow.. I have had every banner on gfy turned off for months..

dunefield · 02-15-2005, 03:50 PM

i don't think there is anything wrong with the gfy banners... only the ones that make noise without going over it...

psili · 02-15-2005, 03:51 PM

Peep the Ctrl + Click / Ctrl + Tab feature. That's pretty nifty too ;)

Rui · 02-15-2005, 03:53 PM

Shit you only found out about this now...DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Manowar · 02-15-2005, 03:56 PM

Adblock has saved my life many a time

Nickless · 02-15-2005, 03:56 PM

flashfire · 02-15-2005, 03:59 PM

I don't mind them either. But it's quite handy to shut down ads on certain news sites for example.

reynold · 02-16-2005, 02:37 AM

Thanks for the info pal.

Jace · 02-16-2005, 02:38 AM

wow, almost every firefox user has brought this up on GFY...a lot too

GoogleBot · 02-16-2005, 02:41 AM

awesome ...

titmowse · 02-16-2005, 03:42 AM

just don't get that abe vigoda status extension. it hijacks your hompage. then again, it might have been the joke terror alert status extension. either way, i got rid of both of them and now my homepage is just fine

gangbangjoe · 02-16-2005, 03:48 AM

i love the tiffycash sound banner

nico-t · 02-16-2005, 03:58 AM

blocking ads is fucked up, theyre part of a page.... also when i check my own pages i wanna see the damn ads, i dont wanna see an adless page of mine!

chodadog · 02-16-2005, 04:24 AM

AdBlock was what saved me from KMan's hypnotic sig. Go go gadget helicopter.

You clearly haven't installed the extension. It doesn't simply block all ads by default. You have the option to turn certain banners off. This is way better. Check it out, I'm sure you'll like it.

hova · 02-16-2005, 04:46 AM

very nice feature

Dynamix · 02-16-2005, 05:08 AM

I've had it installed but the menu doesn't appear when I right-click Flash files

Rui · 02-16-2005, 05:18 AM

The best is that you can block some images, like for example kman sig here at GFY :D

Adultnet · 02-16-2005, 05:35 AM

Its a nice browser but it does not compare to I.E

There is supposed to appear a transparant TAB above your flash banners, which you can click to turn off the flash ad.

GatorB · 02-16-2005, 03:49 PM

Good maybe I'll use it to block all these sigs. Maybe surfers will use it to block your ads so they can download all your content without all those ads telling them to pay you for your hard work.

Seems like a fucking great thing now does it?

DutchTeenCash · 02-16-2005, 03:54 PM

gotta love firefox

i never wanted it but now ive got it cant life without it

all kinda cool features no more fuckin popups

FYI, you can turn off signatures by adjusting the settings in your GFY User CP.
And the latter, yes that will be the case. But the way I see it, banners will fade away slowly and other means of advertising start taking the upperhand.

very nice, thanks, installed

In what ways is IE much better than firefox?

NinjaSteve · 02-16-2005, 04:03 PM

why firefox is great - tabbed browsing, quicker load time, when your form fails you can hit back and your text entered is still there.

yellowmenace · 02-16-2005, 04:15 PM

Love the firefox! Tabbed browsing is an awesome feature.

Fletch XXX · 02-16-2005, 04:16 PM

you can right click block images without this extension, why do you think you have to install AdBlock to do so?

not the case.

You don't. But if you want to create certain rules, like block *doubleclick.net* images, you'll need it. Of course, you can not disable Flash banners with the standard Firefox feature, and with AdBlock you can...

I'm gonna give this topic a rest now. Enough with the Firefox spamming.
