Adblock Plus is an extension that will help you get rid of the ads and banners on the internet that make the loading time of a webpage a lot higher.

Right-click on a banner and choose "Adblock" from the context menu - the banner won't be downloaded again. Maybe even replace parts of the banner address with star symbols to block similar banners as well.

Or you select a filter subscription when Adblock Plus starts up the first time, then even this simple task will usually be unnecessary: the filter subscription will block most advertisements fully automatically.

Requirements:

· Firefox: 3.0.9 – 3.7a1pre
· Thunderbird 3.0 Beta 3
· SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 1
· Songbird 1.2
· Prism 1.0 Beta 1
