rocknrobn26 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) Just added Adblock Plus. Again, right now it's plenty fast and was right before I added it, so I'm certainly cool for now. Add the Fanboy filters and you'll be good on just about any site around. Even on Snopes which has at least 3-4 pop-ups w/o protection. ETA: D of G may be right. They may install automatically or as an option. Edited April 21, 2011 by rocknrobn26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: D of G may be right. They may install automatically or as an option. I think they did. I was prompted to add a particular preference when I relaunched FF.

Caveman_Nick Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 For some reason we are being bombarded with ads to the point that the Huddle can't even load properly. You guys better rake over more cash to the site before we get the triple threat of ad banner, pop ups, and pop unders. Yep, those free forums are really raking in the dough...

Menudo Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I am running FF 4.0 w/ no regrets. I've added Adblock Plus and Fanboy's filters. Links:http://adblockplus.org/en/ http://www.fanboy.co.nz/ The fanboy stuff has completed removed my problem, and the site is flying faster than ever now.

MustOfBeenDrunk Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 It is ridiculously frustrating. I put the exceptions in for IE, so, it works fine there. However, on Firefox (my browser of choice), I have to hit reload over and over. It's now to the point that I have to open up IE specifically to get to TheHuddle. Same here !!

HowboutthemCowboys Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I am running FF 4.0 w/ no regrets. I've added Adblock Plus and Fanboy's filters.

delusions of grandeur Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) which of the 3 @ fanboy? all 3? Just follow the link I have below to add it to Firefox if you haven't already downloaded AbBlock Plus. Either way, once you restart Firefox, it should give you the option to add Fanboy's filters without having to download anything else. (Edit: Though if you go the other route, you only need the adblock list, unless the other ones sound interesting to you.) For those using Firefox, try this addon here. I haven't been having problems until yesterday, when, like WW said in the other thread, an incompatible Progressive ad caused the black screen and wouldn't stop trying to load it. I installed this add-on, and the ads are now gone. Hope this helps. (Edit: this should be compatible with any version 3.5 and higher, so there shouldn't be a need to go back to an older version of FF) Edited April 22, 2011 by delusions of granduer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrobn26 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 which of the 3 @ fanboy? all 3? What D of G said...It should be an option when installing Adblock+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
