Need Good Ad Blocker

Yeah I used to use Privoxy when my router was running IPCop, the add-on called Copfilter includes privoxy, as well as some UTM features like Clam AV scanning done at the router.

 

i wish verizon or westell could add that adblocker feature.

 

How come nobody has mentioned AdMuncher yet? IMO its one of the best and works with IE, firefox many other apps.

 

I would recommend Proxomitron. Much more powerful and easier to use as you would expect at first. And as mentioned, using the Sidki filters, you don't need any other adblockers and stuff.

 

I use Proxomitron with good results.

 

i tried proxomitron with sidki's configuration,but sometimes in some sites you have to disable filter or let it pass..for me is little bit complicated.
i had problem usin justintv for example.

 

Try to see how well this does the job for link scanning, blocking and checking.

Adsweep from adsweep.org,
Opera 8.54 or higher from arc.opera.com,
Proxomitron JD5000 or MizzMona rules and lists from www.proxomitron.info,
PeerGuardian 2 or PeerBlock from Snapfiles with the iBlock lists from iblocklist.com/lists.php, (MANY TO LOOK AT!)
DrWeb Opera link checker,
FanBoy's Url blocker, ad and element blocker from fanboy.co.nz/adblock.
Proxomitron works best with Opera 8.54 or earlier. In fact, GRC can't even test the browser with Proxomitron.

where do i get this info? Proxomitron JD5000 or MizzMona rules -link?
this is only the same with different interface. gui?

 

I'm a big fan of NoScript in FireFox. It uses a whitelist instead of a blacklist, and I can't recall a single popup, popunder or floating ad since using it. It handles Flash too, so my Flashblock add-on became redundant, and it made AdBlock Pro redundant too. Pages still serve google ads, unless I'm using Stylish, but those are relativley unobtrusive and use little bandwidth so I'm not too concerned about them.

SUPERAdBlocker 5.0 Pre-Release w/IE8, Firefox 3.x and Windows 7 support:
http://forums.superantispyware.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=3642

 

Support for 64-bit or not?

 

I've always used the MVPS HOSTS file as my ad blocker. No resource usage and no worrying about compatibility. Perfect little thing.

 

In 32-bit mode yes, but not native 64-bit yet.

 

That works great for most banners, but does nothing for pop-ups, nor dynamic and interstitial ads

 

Thank you very much, SUPERAntiSpy. And thank you for writing "yet" - I regard that as a promise!

 

For the past year of using firefox, I've never seen this thing called popups you speak of, let's stop living in the dark ages shall we.

 

I guess our hundreds of thousands of SUPERAdBlocker users do need the product as the built in ad blocking and host files don't block all the ads, but it sounds for you and the sites you surf it works, so that's great!

 

Not sure what you're trying to prove here, that because thousands of users use the product it's required? Well millions of people use Firefox, so you could just as well say none of them feel the need for it either.

I should add that I bounce frequently between many browsers, and have never had issues with popups, looking over DNS logs for the past year, let's just say it's quite a large list of sites . The only time I've seen troubles is usually window shaping on malicious websites, I hardly think running your processor power on a popup blocker is justified because most people don't go around hunting malicious websites, and especially considering this functionality is built into many browsers.

Well, that's my opinion, I'm not trying to bash your hard work.

 

Not trying to "prove" anything, you are stating something as fact, and I am simply indicating there are users that use our software to block ads, banner, and other forms of advertising not blocked by the built in pop-up blocking aspects of IE and Firefox.

Our software is not needed by you, and that's ok - don't turn the thread about a finding a good ad blocker into a "no one needs an ad blocker" because you don't need one - 99% of basic users don't know how, nor want to learn how to use a "host file" or the other scripts for Firefox, etc. They also use our cookie management features, which you don't need either.

We create our software for those that need it, not those that don't

 

I don't recall saying I never needed an ad blocker, I said.

Like previously stated, I run the hosts file as my ad blocker.

Also, I described my experience as fact, because well, it is fact.

I agree, hence why I am bringing the hosts file in this thread, to tell people...

Yes indeed another useless feature in my opinion since Firefox gives you much power over cookies, which I guess also runs in real time?

Good to know, just like I state my opinion about the need for such software, so people know, and hear all angles.

Edit: I think I see where you may have misunderstood, I edited my post and changed a reference from ad blocker to popup blocker, because my post isn't about debating the need of an ad blocker considering I use one myself, it's about debating the need of a popup blocker.

 

Hence the name and function of our software SUPERAdBlocker
