A Very Irritating Advertisement Panel Down the Right Side of Screen

[Captain_djaffar]

firefox worked out.
ahaaa nice ad killer.

Had no idea you could block that annoying rubbish out until reading this thread . Great! I'll try the adblocker

[BEagle]

Does it also work with those 'PPRuNe advertising' banners?

[spekesoftly]

Yes, when so configured.

[BEagle]

Perhaps a reasonable compromise would be to remove the wretched side bars except in the main forum thread lists?

They make trying to read individual posts extremely awkward - hence so many people have now installed ad blockers.

Shooting your feet off rather, PPRuNe management?

BEagle - IE7 has settled down into quite a stable and secure browser now and yesterday I downloaded and installed IE7Pro which has got rid of ALL the advertising, might be worth a try?

Thanks.

I installed IE7 when it first came out and hated it, so I'm still using IE6.

The message to 't management is pretty clear - most people will only accept so much and if the sidebars aren't junked, then more and more people will simply install advert blockers, removing all advertising completely.

I note that IE7Pro includes a feature which 'blocks all forms of advertising, including Flash ads, rich media, fly-ins, slide-ins, pop-ups, pop-unders, spyware and adware ads, and messenger ads.'

I'll give it a bit longer yet, but if those sidebars don't go, it looks as though I'll be changing to IE7Pro.......

Where Firefox goes Internet explorer tries to catch up.

But it will work with a HOSTS file - though I have always regarded ad blocking as a beneficial side effect of using one.

BEagle,

IE7Pro can work with IE6 as well as IE7 - it's an add-on, not a replacement.

Another advantage of IEPro is that it kills all Beagle's ads for sex toys that keep coming up on his posts

The 'hosts' solution is fine but it requires knowing the location of the ad server, and I had just caught up with the Google Ads (thanks to Tocsin) when it switched to what I guess is a PPrune server based ad and back it came, but with IEPro - bliss! It also has a lot of other 'bells and whistles' for IE users. Heaven knows what it is doing to Danny's pension fund though................

[exeng]

IE7pro installed

Now not a single ad is now in view - I did occasionally click on the odd ad but won't be doing so now as they don't exist.

Load gun, take aim and put hole in foot.

For those Safari-surfing Mac Users:

Safari AdBlock

Works a treat – no configuration necessary!

Brilliant! Thanks AM.

I hope you're joking!

Unless, of course, some geekware has identified your surfing profile and is offering you 'tailored advertising'??

[P.Pilcher]

IE Pro works beautifully - So Far!

P.P.

Am using Firefox and have downloaded Adblocker Plus, which has got rid of most of the ads.

However, "Ads by Google" do not respond to a right click with the option to "Adblock Image", how can I correct this problem ?

Give us a clue, please.

[Compass Call]

Can somebody please post a link to adblocker plus. I can't find it in Firefox add-ons.
