 For anyone who doesn't know, Adblock is a very effective Firefox extention that allows you to block specific images, or whole domains quite easily.

Anyway, I block the Google ads, and all annoying (animated, etc.) signatures and avatars.

I once blocked the ads... but It looked wierd without them, so I unblocked them.

 Ah. Annoying sigs/avatars. I have 250+ of them blocked from this forum alone. No lie. Not to mention the ads and stuff. Every page I go to ends up with gaps everywhere shere stuff should be. So yeah, fairly aggresively :ph34r:

*EDIT* Whole thing has 380 entries in, one entire Photobucket album blocked, and loads of multiple filters and wildcards. But I did download a filterset from another site for a lot of them. That thing is cool ^_^

It looked odd to me too at first, but I got used to it pretty quickly :D.

Quantum-locked when observed.

 I don't use it at all . . . I don't mind the Google ads, although there are some annoying signatures.

I downloaded it on our other computer, but didn't use it becuase I didn't like what it did the page, I've yet to decide if I'll download it on my new one. It's a nice extension, just not something I would use often.

 I didn't like where it collapses sections with ads removed totally. I set it to 'hide ads' and unchecked 'collapse blocked elements' and it looks better that way IMO, there are just gaps where ads are meant to be

 I never bothered with AdBlock. Ad's really don't bother me in the slightest (unless they are pop-ups).
