Adblock is a content filtering plug-in for the Mozilla and Firebird browsers. It is both more robust and more precise than the built-in image blocker. It allows the user to specify filters, which remove unwanted content based on the source-address. If this sounds complicated, don't worry: it's not. Just add a few filters. Every time a webpage loads, it will intercept and disable the elements matching your filters.

    It's nice to see the official Adblock (without the Plus) being worked on as well. This is fine (and perhaps advantageous due to its relative speed) if you know your regexp. Adblock Plus just seems more intuitive and easy to use though, plus that has full element hiding abilities.

    I've always used this without fail.
    adblock + caused high CPU the first time I tried it out.
    I have a filter list and never see ads, it does what I want.

    After being a fan of Adblock for many months, I tried Adblock Plus, and found it to be more effective and user friendly.

    seems faster than adblock-plus, not too sure which one i'd choose so far. Adblock-plus has the features, but is slower, this is ok.
