There are so many types of ad-blocking downloads, software, etc.....Can anyone share a good experience that they have had with how to block ads?

Adblock Plus

I just started using "no script" a few days ago (it's a Firefox add-on) and so far so good.

I use Ad Fender. Works well.

if you use Firefox , Tools , Add-ons , Search . install and try ,remove if you don’t like

Good question! I’ve been wondering the same thing. And fear I’ll pick a bogus one.

It’s gotten to the point that I won’t visit the Washington Times anymore, due to all the ads.

If you're running I.E. browser, download this now, it's free and really works.

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

If you are fairly comfortable with the technical aspects of Windows and can follow basic directions, I would suggest making some modifications to your 'hosts' file, and the following website shows you how to do it:

I've been running mostly ad and banner free for years without any complications.

Good luck!

I found adblockplus to be massive memory hog...so I deleted it.

I discovered “uBlock Origin” and it works great on Chrome and it’s NOT a memory hog.

HIGHLY recommended!

They have an easier one: “disallow scripts” After a page loads you can temporarily stop all scripts. If you want them back again, double-click their icon. It normally resets when you leave a site.

AdBlock Plus and Ghostery (for the tracking stuff) and disable Flash entirely, Most sites have moved on to HTML5 which obviates the need for Flash and its attendant malware.

i use adblock latitude and noscript.

Noscript is asometimes a hassle but it will save you from the really bad stuff people get from computers. :)

Ublock Origin, Noscript and ghostery. 99% of issues will be gone.
