Adblock allows you to remove ads on pages... EXTREMELY helpful to get rid of those pesky ads on the side and in the middle of news articles, but this will eventually lead to a loss of revenue for website operators if it becomes adopted by the masses.

By the way I've been using firefox for about 6 months, and it blows internet explorer away IMHO.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/02/engadget-search-plug-in-for-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/02/engadget-search-plug-in-for-firefox/I even use addblock to block the adds on my own sebsite. (I'm not allowed to click em anyways, according to the contract.)

Actually I almost never use the searchbar, but it's nice to be able to search Engadget that way.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/02/engadget-search-plug-in-for-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/02/engadget-search-plug-in-for-firefox/
Remember how Microsoft made an awesome browser vis-a-vis Netscape? Remember how they took over the market? Remember how MS competitors motivated a LAWSUIT by the government to destroy them?

So it's no surprise that MS hasn't added significant features to IE. Pathetic whiners everywhere would be demanding their head.

Now that enough time has past and a new paradigm of stupidity has set in WE CAN ALL BITCH THAT MS ISN'T ADDING ENOUGH TO IE.

Hurray for relativism!

Oh yeah, ob Firefox.

*thumbs up]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/02/engadget-search-plug-in-for-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/02/engadget-search-plug-in-for-firefox/
I use Adblock selectively.
On websites where the ads get in the way of content, I block all the ads.
I block ads that are full of animation and flashy colour changes.
Also, I kill heavy Flash ads becuase they chew up my valuable bandwidth.

Also, I use generic block strings like
*/ad/* , */ads/* , */banner/* , *adtech* , *annonce* , *doubleclick* and my fav *gator*
I only use these because they seem to be the worst offenders of overly pushy advertising.

On sites like engadget and joystiq I specifically don't block ads, because often the ads interest me.

Although, if the ads in the main column get any bigger, out they go ;p

oh yeah, firefox rulez!11 l337 and all that.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/02/engadget-search-plug-in-for-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/02/engadget-search-plug-in-for-firefox/Dec 19th 2005 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/02/engadget-search-plug-in-for-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/02/engadget-search-plug-in-for-firefox/Dec 19th 2005 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/12/02/engadget-search-plug-in-for-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2004/12/02/engadget-search-plug-in-for-firefox/

I'm so glad that I finally decided to d/l Firefox. Now it's on all of our computers, and I'm starting to get my brother and sister into it as well.
