AdBlock

Any good?

I've just seen a recommend on a Facebook page and wonder if this could be what I need to deal with the amount of ads that come up when trying to read online newspapers or the more "commercial" type blogs.

What do people think:

Any other suggestions welcome as well - as its become very distracting having to wade through all that "clutter" to read what I actually want to red.

I use their tracking lists blockers as an add-on to IE, very easy to use.

Contessa

I use this. In fact when I just checked to confirm that it was in fact this the site was blocked-until I unblocked it with a mouse click.

I used to use this but it's seemed to get more like adware itself in more recent revisions. I now use uBlock Origin.

+1 for uBlock Origin, much lighter on system resources and more than just an adblocker.

Another + for uBlock Origin.

For a detailed review of ad blocking extensions take a look here.

Antispam

Another vote for uBlock Origin I also use ghostly both for firefox plus I use for security malwarebytes antiware and avast premier

Also, if you're using Firefox, you can click on the little open book icon on the right hand side of the address bar. This trims out all the remaining clutter from the page, and displays just the article itself, a very handy feature.
