I use Firefox and/or Cyberfox Browser with these Security/Privacy add-ons:

Adblock Plus

Adblock Plus Popup Add-On

Ghostery

NoScript

Self-Destructing Cookies

Twitter Disconnect

BetterPrivacy

Tried NoScript today and I could no longer log in to aol for mail so had to disable it.

That's the great thing about NoScript: you can enable/disable on a site-by-site basis. Disable for aol mail, enable for other sites.

Pale Moon (a Mozilla-type browser) running something called ‘Adblock edge’ is a perfect solution for me.

AdBlock Plus, baby!

Oh, there was an article of publsihers bemoaning such things, and how to defeat them, because they are losing money.

(aw, poor baby, we don’t want yo’ stuff no how!)

Crystal $0.99 from Apple works great on iPad and iPhone, loads into Safari and can be turned on-off as necessary.

Some pretty good comments on this thread posted earlier

.Report: Ad blocking costs publishers $10B, equal to 250,000 jobs, 2 aircraft carriers

I turned on tracking protection in Internet Explorer after reading comments there. Drudge loads instantly now instead of having to wait.

[[Disable for aol mail, enable for other sites.]]

The problem is that these sites that require signing in are usually the oens running ads and the oens we want the ads blocked on- but can’t because then we won’t be able to sign in

Ghostery. Nice add-on for Firefox and on-the-fly-configurable.
