Use Firefox to Fix the Web's Biggest Annoyances [Lifehacker]
Yeah, the internet is awesome – heck, I'm planning a full post on how the internet's changes have made it supremely great. But it ain't perfect, just like everything else in the world. Firefox has the capabilities to make some real, honest changes that will make the Web that much more pleasant to be on. My favorite:Blocking Unnecessarily Obnoxious Ads
Without question, obnoxious ads are out of control on the web these days—you can barely move your mouse across a page without ads moving around, popping up, taking over the screen or pretending to be a dialog window indicating impending doom if you don't pay for a system scan NOW. These ads can be put in their place easily, using everybody's favorite Adblock Plus
extension. Lifehacker is, of course, an advertising-supported site—so we'd be grateful if you'd keep us on the whitelist—but it'll do a charm for those flashing, pop-up-ing, overlaying, obtrusive ads all around the web.
