Install ublock origin, problem solved.
- ginko 7y agoNot out of the box, but blocking all yahoo.com content does indeed get rid of it.

- HenryBemis 7y agoI have 3 layers: Privacy Badger (with some custom made work), NoScript, AdBlockPlus. I have 'maxed out' all Firefox privacy settings (battery monitoring, geolocation, 3rd party cookies, etc.). I also got some strong hosts file (https://someonewhocares.org/hosts/ https://someonewhocares.org/hosts/) I feel pretty private :) Also when I go to a website that it doesn't ring a bell, I spend a few seconds 'working on it' (PrivacyBadger, NoScript, ABP) so I won't have to bother again with their crap.
- richjdsmith 7y agoYou may want to consider switching from ABP to uBlock Origin. There's lots of articles explaining it in detail, but essentially uBO is open source and ABP is a $50mm/yr business that allows some ads through and I think (but am not positive) have a history of data sharing.
- zokula 7y agoABP is just as open source as uBO is.
- xnyan 7y agoMaybe not as private as you would hope. ABP takes money from Google to bypass your adblocking at their discression.
- neilv 7y agoI recommend switching from AdBlock Plus to uBlock Origin. uBlock Origin is run by what seems to be a very principled and knowledgeable person. (The only downside I recall from moving from ABP to UBO is if you're a blocklist developer: adding site-specific rules in a form suitable for shared blocklists is currently easier in ABP than UBO. For my current experimental data set, I have manually added over 10,000 such site-specific blocklist rules, mostly one or a few at a time, using the text editor in UBO, but I still prefer UBO to ABP overall.)
