Ad free web browsing with Firefox

[Adondo]

The ultimate way to browse the internet is with Firefox. http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/

And you need three add-ons to really make it into a GREAT web browser.

First and foremost is Adblock PLus. http://adblockplus.org/en/ Goodbye ads. No more screen clutter and irritating pop-ups.

Then, Ghostery. http://www.ghostery.com/ Refers, web bugs, and other tracking crap are filtered out. Do you really want a dozen people leaning over your shoulder as you browse the web? I think not.

X-Marks. http://www.xmarks.com/ All your computers are synced. My work, home, and laptop computers are all synced the same. I can open Firefox on any of the machines, and all my passwords and bookmarks are the same on all.

I had AdBlock, I just added the other two, thanks for the information!

Unless something changes Xmarks is going away in January, I believe. Not sure if they couldn't put more funding together or what but I've heard it twice now, once on TWiT and once on techzilla.

I've been using Firefox for a few years now and love it. Explorer is total crap and I dont even open it anymore. My wife has to use explorer for work but she now has a company laptop so I have no more worries.

Have you looked at all the sites Gostery blocks on the "other" forum, man those guys are mining for information over there.

This program won't do me any good I don't think because I use Firefox at home and ME at work where I cannot add or change programs.
