What is Adblock Plus for Firefox

Adblock Plus Firefox is a simple program that anyone can use that blocks annoying pop ups and other ads that you come across online. YouTube is one of the most popular online video sites, but the website made changes that led to it using a number of ads on each page. Before you can watch a single video, you need to watch a few seconds of an ad, and some videos require that you watch 60 seconds or more before watching a video. Users even reported watching ads that were longer than the video they wanted to watch.

Adblock Plus lets you skip over those ads and get right to the videos. It also blocks the ads that you see on your favorite websites. Who wants to deal with an annoying banner that floats over the top of the screen? Other sites use large ads on the bottom, top or sides of the page that keep you from seeing the content on the page. With Adblock Plus, you see only the content that you want to see and none of those annoying ads.

Adblock Plus Firefox is an extension that works only with Firefox. If you use multiple browsers, you need to download different extensions to block ads on Explorer, Chrome or other browsers. When surfing the web, you'll likely come across a few pages that take longer to load. Those sites often use a combination of ads and banners that load before the page loads. With this program, the ads never load, which lets the page load faster. If you are tired of seeing Google create customized ads based on the pages and products you looked at in the past, you will love that this program blocks those ads from appearing on your screen.

The developers introduced several plugs in that let you customize your experience. You can decide which pages block all ads and which ads you want to see. Many website owners rely on the money that comes in from those ads to pay for running their sites, and you can choose to view those ads to support those owners. You can also use the translation feature to adjust the language used by the program to better your web surfing experiences.

Seeing ads online is a natural part of spending time online. Those ads can prevent you from seeing pictures, reading articles, listening to music and even watching movies and videos. With Adblock Plus, you'll enjoy spending time online again without those pesky ads getting in your way.
