firefox, IE and advertisements

Filed under: internet

I’m a Firefox user. It means i use it as long as i can, because there are sites which are developed for Microsoft Internet Explorer only. If i really need such a site (like my bank’s) I’m forced to use IE. (BTW, it can be used on linux!). Sometimes i click a link while in IE and get to some other site… and I’m really really annoyed.
I’ll tell you why. With Firefox i use the following wonderful extensions: AdBlockPlus, Adblock Filterset.G Updater and FlashBlock. These protect me against most of advertisement and flashes (unless i want them). When i see the site i know in IE, I’m just confused and annoyed - the difference is huge.
If you did not hear about these extensions - now it’s time to try them.
