Then you need Adblock Plus. Installing it means you will never have to watch annoying YouTube adverts again.

The fact that it blocks adverts (and pop ups) for the rest of the internet is just a nice bonus.

That's not true. You can uncheck the acceptable ads option. I have adblock plus and no ads at all.

Edit: If people want to know, to disable acceptable ads, go to add ons, options for ad block, filter preferences and uncheck "Allow some non-intrusive advertising". Boom, done.

Download this and just uncheck the acceptable ads option.

Funny thing I mentioned this about 6 months ago in the NBA thread for people who stream sports and don't want the annoying pop-ups.

You will get "tracked" anyways. it's a shame cause it's a lovely "clean" browser.

Well, with adblock edge, it's predefined that you do not want ads. It's kinda pointless to download an ad blocker that accepts, by definition, some ads.

For the guys that have facebook, you can install an extension called facebook purity. It is a good fb decrapifier. No apps, no random posts, no ads.

my machine runs it a lot smoother than firefox or i/e. the only thing i don't like about it is that i have to install all extensions again every time i reboot my computer. I don't really get that.

I can't do that, as my business involves internet marketing and I have to stay up to par with latest developments in that sphere.

That's right, Cardguy, you're ruining my living
