Ad blocking
Recently I’ve noticed an increasing number of adverts on web sites that are using Flash and/or inline frames (iframes) rather than just simple images to display their wares. However, the standard ad blockers don’t seem to be able to kill these rich media adverts. What to do?
Well, being a web programmer, I thought I’d take a wee step out of the loop for a while, and write a plugin for my Browser of Choice(tm) — Mozilla Firefox — to cater for (read kill
) this sort of thing.
I needn’t have bothered even coming up with the idea, some nice person has already done it for us! Thanks! :-D
