Usefull programs - Mozilla Firefox & Adblock Plus

As I'm using Tinypaste, I often get complaints that users have displayed a lot of advertising or even to complete a survey to get the download links. That is not my intention. I recommend you to use Mozilla Firefox together with Adblock Plus.

Mozilla Firefox

About Mozilla Firefox

Meet the World’s Best Browser

With security, stability, speed and much more, Firefox is made for the way you use the Web. Free and easy to install!

Downloading Mozilla Firefox

Before installing, make sure your computer meets the system requirements!

Mozilla provides Firefox for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X in a variety of languages. You can get the latest version of Firefox here.

Installing Mozilla Firefox

Please note that installing Firefox 3.6 will overwrite your existing installation of Firefox. You won’t lose any of your bookmarks or browsing history, but some of your extensions and other add-ons might not work until updates for them are made available. You can reinstall an older version later if you wish to downgrade.

Uninstalling Mozilla Firefox

You can remove Firefox 3.6 through the Control Panel in the Start Menu on Windows, by removing the Firefox application on OS X, or by removing the firefox folder on Linux.

By default, removing Firefox 3.6 won’t remove your bookmarks, web browsing history, extensions or other add-ons. This data is stored in your profile folder, which can be found by going to the Help menu and selecting Troubleshooting Information.... The button next to the Profile Directory line in Application Basics will open your profile directory in your system's file explorer.

Please note that if you keep your profile, any version of Firefox that you install after removing Firefox 3.6 will continue to use the bookmarks, web browsing history, add-ons, and other data from this profile folder.

Adblock Plus

About Adblock Plus

Adblock Plus allows you to regain control of the internet and view the web the way you want to. The add-on is supported by over forty filter subscriptions in dozens of languages which automatically configure it for purposes ranging from removing online advertising to blocking all known malware domains. Adblock Plus also allows you to customize your filters with the assistance of a variety of useful features, including a context option for images, a block tab for Flash and Java objects, and a list of blockable items to remove scripts and stylesheets.

I hope you will get my links easier now!

Hi,
We're still in the slow news period, so let's talk about something we discussed before: blocking advertisements on websites. Up until, well, today, I didn't block ads - not because of some ethical objection or whatever, but simply because I couldn't be bothered to setup <a href="http://go4download.com/download/ Adblock Plus </a>
Today, after taking a closer look at some of the websites I frequent, I decided to take the plunge and install Ad Block on all my machines. The following set of screenshots should pretty much explain why.
