Read on to learn more.īefore we get into telling you how to block ads on Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Opera, I want to point out two methods you can use to block all ads on your computer regardless of which program or browser the ads are shown in. This article will show you how to block ads on the four major browsers used by Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8, Mac OS X, and Linux users: Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Opera. This article aims to help that latter group. Out of those that dislike ads, there are some that block ads and there are some that would like to block ads but don’t know how. There are many dotTechies who are OK with advertisements but there are also others that are not. After all, education is the key to making an informed decision. However, I do not hold a grudge with anyone that does block ads because I understand advertisements can be very annoying (especially Flash ads) and, I feel everyone should at least have the knowledge of how to block ads so it is by choice when (if) they decide to not block ads as opposed to by helplessness. I greatly appreciate anyone and everyone that does not block ads on dotTech and our sister site, SharewareOnSale. Advertisements are a critical source of revenue keeping dotTech afloat (same goes for most other websites).
