Annoying dating sites, and the Mormon ads. They should go.

Scientology ads on youtube are too darn memory hungry and slow my computer down immensely.

AdBlock doesn't work for all the ads. In fact, since I just upgraded to firefox 3.whatever, ALL of the advertisements are showing again. :x

You need to update the Ad block database, go to Tools and click on ad block, and then filters, then update all subscriptions. that should solve the ad's

I guess I should start using adblock again, only as I recall on here, it didn't really get rid of all the ads.

What are adverts? Oh, yes I remember now - those irritating things that used to appear on web pages before I used AdBlocker plus. Personally I don't have any problems with it and am using Firefox 3. It also speeds up browsing as there is less to download.

Thank you. I get lost with the texting type jargon. I've learned some though like WTF and LOL but some strings of letters are just lost on me.
