How to stop annoying ads on web pages you are reading?

Is there anything I can do to stop advertisements that totally
overwhelm my website that I am reading? They are so dominate
that I just have to leave the page. I want to read my news without
an ad that covers 3/4 of the page. Not only the news but other web pages as well.
Thank you,
Jeanette Gonzales

How to stop "FROM AROUND THE WEB" and "You May Like" from coming up on each page that I browse

It is very frustrating when I am on Mozilla looking at various websites and on each page that I go to either "FROM AROUND THE WEB" or "You May Like" come up in the middle of the page with links to other websites that I am not interested in viewing.
Also when I am shopping on the internet another pop up called Deals, brought by iWebar keeps popping up and also "Deals" by Deal Finder. I did not change any of my settings, I only updated Mozilla Firefox and then all of these things started happening. This is very frustrating and I want to know how to turn this off. I did not sign up for any of these things, and want to be advised on how to remove them.
Could you please advise how to stop these as I really do not want these options as I am browsing and I will go back to Internet Explorer if this continues to happen. I look forward to hearing from you promptly. Thank you

Hi Kerri,
You should always pay attention when installing software because often, a software installer includes optional installs, such as this adware. Be very careful what you agree to install. 
Adware gets on your computer after you have installed a freeware software (video recording/streaming, download-managers or PDF creators) that had bundled into their installation this browser hijacker.
You can use the below steps to revert back to adware-less Firefox.
1) Reset Prefs
*Navigate to '''about:config''' in your Address Bar
*Press the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button to proceed
*Search for iWebar and reset all prefs that pull up by right clicking > Reset
2) Remove any programs that you don't recognize or remember installing from your Control Panel (Start > Control Panel > Uninstall a Program)
3) Remove any extensions that you don't recognize or remember installing from Firefox.
*(Press the menu button ([[Image:new fx menu]] > Add-ons > Extensions)
4) Download ADW Cleaner to wipe out any remnants of the adware.

After the 5.0 upgrade, why is it every time I start Firefox I get the welcome to 5.0 web page you are up to date? Plus My home page opens at the same time.. Its annoying.I can not stop it.

I turned off auto upgrades I defaulted my home page I made a blank home page I cannot get rid of the double page on the initial start up of the browser.

See these articles for some suggestions:

How to stop IE9 from opening web page in the middle of browser

Greetings,
I'm opening a page with a video on it and for some reason, IE9 insists on opening the page so that the bottom of the video is in line with the bottom of the IE9 browser window.
It's like IE doesn't want to cut off the lower part of the video.
FF is not having this problem and opens pages with videos as it should; at the top.
This pic doesn't really do it justice, but when the page opens, the video is in line with the bottom of the browser window.
Thanks for any help you can give!
k

It looks exactly the same to me in FF10 and IE9 on Vista. The page is longer than my viewport. I must use the vertical scrollbar to see the page bottom. Hit Ctrl+ - a couple of times to Zoom Out. Refresh the page (F5).

How to remove highlighted word ads on web pages. Tried everything

Hi everyone. Haviing a problem with highlighted words ads on web pages. Tried everything. Went safari / preferences / extensions. Removed everything. The problem remains. Can anyone help me on this one?

you may have Genieo installed
see
http://www.genieo.com/faq/#q20
Note that, if Genieo is installed, using the recommendations that Genieo themselves provide on that page will not remove it. They cannot be trusted, and their uninstaller is known not to remove everything. Proper Genieo removal instructions can be found in my Adware Removal Guide.
I don't believe this is a Genieo problem, though. Genieo usually just hijacks the search engine. It doesn't cause the random underlined words that cause ads to pop up. That's going to be caused by some other adware, probably also described in my Adware Removal Guide.

How to temporary block list of web pages?

Hi While working I need access to web pages (I am developing web applications) but same time often I got distracted and spend my time reading interesting articles on web instead doing my job. I was using LeechBlock addon for Firefox, but now I migrated to chrome. So my question is:
Is there simple way how to temporary block list of web pages for all browsers?
It is OK to block http/https access only, but no problem to block all traffic from/to this sites. I need to by able to easily start/stop this block.

No. Each domain has (or has not) its own IP address. The IP address of a parent domain has no influence on the IP address of subdomains.
If you want to be able to use willcard, the best way is probably to base the filtering on HTTP level traffic.
That is directly in the client (firefox/chrome extensions)
Or, using an http proxy (squid).
Or, may be, using iptables with rules that match the URL.
eg
sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m string --string "google.com" --algo kmp -j DROP
will block outgoing traffic matching "google.com". You can of course tune better rules.
sudo iptables -F OUTPUT will flush all rules.
You can then add many "iptables -A OUTPUT" lines in a script, and associate a key shortcut to this script...
Well, an extension to the browser is probably preferable. I give this solution only for the fun

Where did the "Stop" button go on the Navigation Bar in ff4? It isn't included in the Customize box. Is there anyway to install the "Stop" button for loading web pages or is this option compeletly gone from Firefox now?

Just installed upgrade to Firefox 4.0. Where did the "Stop" button go on the Navigation Bar. I checked the Customize dialogue box and it isn't included. Is anyone else missing it? Is there anyway to install the "Stop" button for loading web pages or is this option completely gone from Firefox now? It was a very helpful button and allowed us users to stop a web page and move on if it wasn't what we needed.

In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

Opting out of targeted ads on web pages

I received an email today annoncing I will received targeted ads on web pages, and that I can go to the Verizon site to "opt out". I can't find where to do this.
Please note I am not asking how to opt out of emails from Verizon.
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. I have no interest in being "targeted". Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I received the same email and I am very distrubed. The thing that bothers me even more than being targeted for ads is how Verizon is purposely making it difficult if not impossible to find the Opt Out Page. As soon as you click on the link it SHOULD take you to the Opt Out Page. It would be VERY EASY for Verizon to set it up this way. But Verizon is requiring you sign in first - once signed in - it does not take you to the page - you have to search for it. Their web site is NOT USER FRIENDLY! I searched for the Opt Out Page, then searched for a way to email or chat with a rep at Verizon. I couldn't find any of it.
Shows a very big lack of integrity and customer service. Will be looking for another carrier to do business with.

How can I delete an old web page ??

How can I delete an old web page ?? I have created a web page some time ago and now I want to delete it but i do not know how to do it: can anyone help me ?

Delete the web page where it is published.
If it is published to MobileMe, then you need to log into MobileMe and go to your iDisk or mount it on your desktop and then delete it from your Web/sites folder.
If you have published to a server, then you'll need to download Cyberduck, Filezilla or Transmit - all dedicated ftp programmes to connect with your host/server and then delete your old files from the server.
It really is not hard.

How do i Hyperlink to a web page from a java application?

How do i Hyperlink to a web page from a java application using internet explorer as my default web browser?

It's very simple.You can start any Application with the class Runtime. The command is an array consisting of the path of .exe and the file to be open.
String [] cmd={path of IE+Filename.exe,"URL of your website"}
try
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
catch (Exception e)
System.err.println(e.toString());

How do I open a web page in Adobe Reader from ipad2? I don't see any buttons to click. I'm new user

How do I open a web page in Adobe Reader? I got the app for ipad2, but when a page says I need a certain version of AR, I don't know what to do. I'm a new user and don't know if I have to "open" AR and it automatically reads whatever doc I have up on the web, or is it always running and any web page I'm on should show a button to click in order to open the page in AR?

If a website says that you need a certain version of Adobe Reader, it is probably attempting to detect whether or not you have the Adobe Reader browser plugin installed. This is something that only works on desktop systems where browser plugins exist. Since browser plugins don't exist on mobile, website developers should take care to present different messages and provide different options for downloading PDF's when visited by mobile browsers. I recommend contacting the website owner and requesting that they implement access for mobile devices.

How do I close the current web page in Safari?

UPgraded to IOS 8 because a friend said it cured his problems, so I took the plunge.
BIg mistake.
THis question concerns Safari.
how do I close the current web page?

I just found how to do this on my iPad! At the top right are two squares overlapping. Click on that and you will get your page hanging in space. There is an X on the top (I think) left. Click on that and TaDa! Lost of hoops, but glad I found it.

How do I get rid of web pages I'm through viewing?

Not sure exactly what you mean but while you are using Safari, just tap the X on the left side of the tab to close a it. Only the active tab shows the X. You have to tap on a tab to make it active or the foremost window.
If you want to clear the history - Settings>Safari>Clear History.
These are instructions for Safari in iOS 5. What version are you running?
