If your young people (or you!) spend any time at all on the Internet, you’ll appreciate these free customizable Internet ad- and flash-blocking tools.
Adblock Plus
Free. Stable. Easy to install and configure. Two-thumbs up! This app is platform-independent and works with Foxfire, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, Android, SeaMonkey, and Thunderbird.
You’ll want to check your “Filter Preferences,” and choose a default filter list. (You might also uncheck the “Allow some non-intrusive advertising” button).
Adding images/ads you wish to block is as simple as right-clicking on the image, scrolling down to “AdBlock Plus: Block Image…,” and choosing one of the options listed.
