MVP HOSTS file.

It works for any browser and any internet activity that uses domain names. You can as easily block an ad server as you can block a whole website.
Generally this program will take care of most of the work for you though you may also add your own sites to it to block them.

Not all ads and banners are a bad thing. I have learned about many new, worthwhile sites and products from Banners and links...
I would never have found the Orthodox Circle had I utilized Blocking software. We must remember the Internet is only successful because of it potential advertising revenue. Without commercial capitalization the Internet would still be available only at University, Think tank and Government levels as it was in the 60\'s & 70\\"s. Yes, it\'s been around that long. So I think I\'ll live with the ads and try to filter the trash. Besides I really respect good advertising.

There\'s a add-on for Firefox called AdBlock Plus that serves the same purpose.
[url=https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865]https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865[/url]
AdBlock Plus works by subscribing to a regularly updated list of filters and I find that this list is comprehensive enough that I rarely see anything get past it. You can also define your own filters for those few instances that something does get past (which is pretty easy, just hover over the ad, whereupon a little \\"Block\\" tab will show up, click the \\"Block\\" tab, and then click \\"OK\\" on the dialog box that pops up).
