Get AdBlock & Filter.G Before It’s Too Late

People who are tired of seeing ads on their browsers have been using Firefox’s AdBlock plugin for some time now to block those annoying ads from websites such as MySpace an DoubleClick. But now they are saying that they will sue the creators of AdBlock because it is costing them substantial amounts of revenue.

There is an estimate of 2.5 million plus AdBlock users which means that all 2.5 million of those users skip out on 1,000+ ads we encounter everyday. Thats a whopping 250 billion ads blocked each day. You can begin to imagine how much money they are loosing. If you ever hosted ads on Google via their AdWords program, you know how expensive it can be. It was like $5 a keyword click they would charge you. Imagine Google loosing $5 x 2.5 million because of AdBlock!

AdBlock and Filter.G are again Firefox plugins that automate the blocking of these ads on any website. There is a lawsuit going on that might end the use of these programs. So take my advice and install them and update them before it may be too late! I’m a proud user of them and will hate to see it go away. For those of you who has never tried it, I highly recommend it, you will not be sorry, I promise! Ads are not just annoying, they make pages longer to load!

Actually by doing this, I’m loosing out on money too because my Google ads would be blocked but still I advocate for this plugin! My loss is your gain! Seriously! :)

If you refer to my previous blog here, you can get info on how to download them.

    Thank you! I’ve been using Adblock for the past year and a half or so, but I hadn’t heard of Filter.G until now. Hopefully it will be awesome?

    Yeah, Filter.G is awesome! It updates frequently as well! Sometimes I would open MySpace and discover new ads, instead of blocking them again, I just click “Force Update” on Filter.G, then refresh MySpace, and the ads would be gone!

    There hasn’t been any updates to G’s list in a while. I’m not sure it’s best to recommend the list in its current state.

    I am pretty sure that the number of Adblock users is nowhere near 2.5 million. Adblock *Plus* (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865) has somewhat like 2.5 million users however. And it is not recommended to use Filterset.G with Adblock Plus - http://adblockplus.org/en/faq_project#filterset.g (you find a link to better subscriptions there as well)
