Would it work and safe to have "Adblock Plus" Plug-In?

This plug-in called AdBlock Plus is claiming that it will block any pop up ads in any web page including Facebook ect. 
I would like to know if it is capable of blocking these annoying pop ups one encounter in certain web pages such as on line news papers.
Does anybody in here heard about this?
Regards

Snow,
Ad-Block Plus is a legitimate and safe add-on (plug-in) for browsers.   Try it for yourself, see if you're happy with it... if not, you can always disable or uninstall it.
Some notes:
1) You have to install it separately for each browser in which you want it to work.   These can be downloaded from https://adblockplus.org/
2) After installed, you can RIGHT-click on the icon [in your browser], select SETTINGS, to be sure it's set for the best language for you.    Apparently, different language settings can block different ads.
3) There is also a box which you can (optionally) check to "Allow some non-intrusive advertising".   Checking this box should allow some ads through... UNchecking the box should (theoretically) stop ALL ads.

  • I lost the ability to use wifi after the 8.02 update.  Is there a way to fix this?  I've already tried resetting network.  Turned the phone off and on. Nothing is working and now I have to run on just data.

        csdwarf,
    So sorry to hear about the trouble with Wi-Fi! Let's get that working the way it should. Could you provide us some more details regarding where this breakdown occurs? Are you having trouble with turning Wi-Fi on or connecting to your Wi-Fi? Are other devices connecting to your Wi-Fi without issue?

    I am running CS5 on my MAC OS 10.6.8. I want to upgrade my OS to 10.8 or 10.9. Will my CS5 work and do I have to do anything to keep it working when I install the new OS?

    It should upgrade fine.
    Worst case is you'll need to run the Adobe Cleaner Tool (link below), then reinstall from your original discs:

  • I need to know if the new FireFox 8.0.1 supports Norton? The last time I tried to up date Norton would not work and I had to go back to 3.6 Please let me know. Thanks Ron

    I need to know if the new Fire Fox 8.0.1 will support the Norton tool bar? The last time I updated to Fire Fox 5, Norton would not work and I had to go back to 3.6. Some one said they were working on it but I sure would like to know before I switch. Norton handles all of my pass words. I sure do not want to loose that feature. Regards Ron

  • I am living USA and Mexico for my work and I do have account in USA but is that possible to make Mexican account same time? I like to keep USA account when I'm in USA

    I am living USA and Mexico for my work and I do have account in USA but is that possible to make Mexican account same time? I like to keep USA account when I'm in USA

    If you have a valid payment method in Mexico (e.g. Mexican credit card) billed to a Mexican address then I guess you could.  There are certain disadvantages to having more than one account, but in your case I don't see they apply.  Just make sure you have copies of everything you buy from each country on backup because you will no longer be able to redownload items when you can no longer use that country's store.

  • Yesterday my iPod touch's home button would not work and to day it is completely turned off and wont turn back on and it is fully charged and when i connect it to itoons it dosent reckinise it

    yesterday my iPod touch's home button would not work and to day it is completely turned off and wont turn back on and it is fully charged and when i connect it to itoons it dosent reckinise it

    Given the information supplied, it sounds very similar to what happened to my wife's 4.  Locked up...came back on with a blank (bluish) screen...could here emails and text coming through.  It would get very hot as well.  Our local apple store tried two times to rescue it, ultimately rendering it complete inoperable.  I'm sorry to say in our case we had to buy a refurb and trade in the phone for $150, which actually wasn't a bad deal.
    There could be other information I'm missing, but I would start with seeing if apple can restore your phone.  If they can't, then I'm pretty sure it's dead.

  • Wi-Fi Stopped working and yes I have tried everything

    *Before you EVEN jump at me with all the existing methods of attempting to fix this. Please read my post first.*
    Okay, I've done the following:
    Reset iPhone
    Forgotten Network settings (and never been able to get them back)
    Cleared network settings
    Cleared ALL settings and content
    Restored iPhone from Backup
    Attempted to connect to several wireless networks
    There IS a MAC address in the about page
    Attempted to connect to a wireless network with WEP/WPA/WPA2/WPA2 Enterprise and NO encryption
    Attempted entering the connection information manually
    There is NO mac filtering on my router
    Obviously I cannot debug this any further. I intend as my next step to get a hold of a cisco router and run debug on that to see if I can find anything out.
    Any new suggestions would be much appreciated, but I have literally tried everything.
    Also my iPhone is running OS 2.2.1
    Edit: I would appear to be an idiot, in missing the huge topic at the bottom dedicated to this issue. My bad. However from what I've gathered, I am not putting my iPhone in a freezer just to get wifi working. If it is a chip fault I'll be wanting my money back.

    I had some issues with WiFi early on, went to an Apple Store, and things worked perfectly, so at least I figured out that it wasn't iPhone.
    Then I got an updated WiFi access point for my house, and everything worked reliably after that.
    So the question is, have you gone to an apple store and checked the WiFi there?

  • My daughter's ipod is not working and says it needs to be plugged into a computer. Can she sync to someone elses mac?

    My daughter is away at camp and ipod is not working and says it needs to be connected to itunes.  She does not have her laptop with her. Can she sync to her itunes on someone else's mac?

    Yes, when she plugs it in to another person's mac, tell it transfer purchases, then authorize the computer by going to store, and click authroize computer. If the iPod is in recovery mode
    Then I don't think she can have her music apps etc. on there after she plugs it into the computer. If it just needs a charge
    When iTunes opens on the computer, quit it, and do not let the iPod sync with the computer, just answer no or ignore to any questions asking if you want to sync.

    That's fine -  except nobody here knows what you have been able to think of try to this point.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    It really helps if you let others know "what you know of" and already tried.
