Flash Ads SUCK

Thanks all!

I've tried both Fett's file and the toolbar that refalm posted.   They are both very nice solutions and will work together.

I found the idea of blocking adservers with the /etc/hosts file very interesting (thanks for the link m51dps!).

Again, thank you all.

A good test for your new ad blocking is most definately IGN.com - especially their "Vault Network" - packed with Flash ads!

For the poor Windows users out there, there's a thing called proxomitron (or alternatively the hosts file - if you can find it)

You could always firewall out the ad servers?

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\

Edit it with Vi IMproved. Notepad, Word or WordPad won't work.

I discovered this today

http://flashblock.mozdev.org/

It's a mozilla plugin that disables flash by default.  If there's a flash thing you want to see, you click on it and it opens, so that which is not explicity permitted is denied.

PseudoRandomDragon:
ZoneAlarm Pro blocks the mobile code required for flash on all sites except ones I specifically allow, so I don't see the ads. Flash ads are gay.
