Your Favorite Firefox Extensions

[Chad711]

installed noscript and it found googlesyndication here..do you disable that? isnt that google adds?

 

[KSoD]

Yes that is the Google Ads.

 

[Trotter]

What ads?

 

[Dave@56]

I use Flashblock, Noscript (however I am to disable it because it interrupts my work much), Extrenal IP, HostIP geolocation, BugMeNot.

 

[Chad711]

I uninstalled these after a few days of use. Those apps are more of a hassle then they are of help. I'd say 70% of the time when I was going to a site I had to screw around with permissions and click this and that to let it work...just annoying.

 

[Trotter]

It's called security and it is a pain for a reason. yes, you have to give sites permission... without the extensions, sites do whatever whether you want them to or not. Many sites out there are rather malicious, either on purpose or through being hacked. Any protection you can get is that much more between you and it.
