Tutorial: Get Rid of Annoying Ads

submitted by Sang on 07.13.2005 in Links, Random Tutorials

For my first tutorial, I’ll show you how to get rid of annoying advertisements on the Internet. You know, ads that blink incessantly telling you that you won something when what you really won is that knowledge that ads are annoying.

Download Firefox
This is the hard part for some people, but all you need to do in this step is to download a 4.7 MB browser. Here is the link: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-1.0.5&os=win&lang=en-US
Install Firefox
Installation should be a snap. Just click the button “Next” at the bottom if you want to get the default features. By the way, since Firefox is open-source, it contains no spywares or any other crap that has the potential of killing your computer. It actually does quite the opposite — protecting you from spyware.
Nuke Anything
Nuke Anything is actually a name of a Firefox extension (mini-programs that enhances your browsing experience) that will kill the ads. Go here to install Nuke Anything. Screenshot:
Restart Firefox
This is an easy step. Close Firefox and open it again.
Kill Ads
You are now ready to kill ads. Now, find an ad that you don’t like on the Internet, right click on it, and select “Remove this object”. Here’s a screenshot. Click on it to see the full-sized version:

Nuke Anything is nice for playing games, however there is another Firefox extention that goes along well with it called “Ad-Block Plus.” It allows you to permablock images and frames.

However, it comes at a price. As long as Ad-Block is enabled, Java and Flash (sometimes shockwave as well) are DISABLED. Therefore, in order to play games, you need to disable the blocker temporarily, which isn’t a hassle.

Anyway, if you don’t mind doing a little extra clicking to play games, Ad-Block works really well and would help backup Nuke Anything.
