Adblock Plus - Annoyance-Free Web Surfing

    I like the way Adblock Plus describe themselves in their product page: "Adblock Plus allows you to regain control of the internet and view the web the way you want to". And that's true. Adblock Plus is a Firefox add-on that prevents advertisement from appearing on web pages you view. With Adblock Plus installed and enabled those annoying Flash advertisements and banners that slow down page loading or distract you from browsing will no longer appear, known malware domains are blocked as well.
