I don't give a shit, as long as i don't have to view those terrible stupid Ads.
Advertisers, fix your practises and i will view your Ads again.
- davidgerard 12y agoFirefox with ABP is why my laptop now has 8GB instead of 4GB.
- frozenport 12y agoIts about the latency silly! The vim example allocates 2 GB which takes a few seconds, which we know makes users leave our sites. Going through those GBs slows everything down!
- raverbashing 12y agoOne of the best ad-blockers is actually called FlashBlock (not sure this is the name today) It will remove around 90% of obnoxiousness...
- VoxPelli 12y agoOr you just go to Tools > Addons > Plugins and chose to have Firefox ask you before it activates the Flash plugin for a page – same functionality I think?
- raverbashing 12y agoGood, looks like it's a new feature. Yeah, this would be more or less the same functionality (FlashBlock makes it per item, so you can, for example see a video but not activate the other elements)
- wutbrodo 12y agoI think the Firefox plugin option does this too (at least, it works that way in Chrome). You can activate a plugin (and only that plugin) by clicking on it.
- chris_wot 12y agoWell, I most certainly do care. Unfortunately, I've disabled ABP.
- qwerta 12y agoMy computer has 32GB RAM and I do care. For start it affects battery lifetime. I also do performance testing and it can be ruined if some page uses too much CPU.
