名列前茅十使登广告者困恼的Firefox添加物

2007年5月8日 · 由大卫布雷得里

更加快速的狐狸Computerworld.com通过提供它的读者他们不应该使用的Firefox引伸名单踢了风暴这个星期。 某些提及可能是合法的,并且使用他们也许有在您的计算机击中的表现,开放安全性问题,或者简单地要求不便设定或卸载,当您决定副作用时胜过好处。

然而,某些词条简单地似乎在名单,因为他们减少站点的登广告者冲击,例如 Computerworld在一个无保护的浏览器相当包装与ads并且产生popups。 顺便说一句,我与连接了 打印方式 版本的文章,因此您可能避免所有ads,即使您未采取这些添加物。 如果您想要看许多评论从悲痛的读者您将必须去回到原始的文章。

如此,什么是这些添加物? 我们与我们自己的想法一起这里出版完整名单关于怎样他们也许使站点象Computerworld,登广告者困恼,并且纯粹存在帮助其他bloggers最大化他们的收支的所有那些blogs,没有真正提供其中任一增值…您知道谁您是!

Fasterfox -这通过做链接先提取加速浏览,但明显地有表现然而,并且为在考虑中,它的站点也击中的带宽先提取广告链接,可能变形站点的财务作为ads从未看通过点击。

NoScript -做什么它在锡认为和,因此防止跑在浏览器视窗的剧本和因而使许多基于剧本的ads失去能力。

Adblock
并且 Adblock加上 -更多同样-块几乎做广告,所有存在的理由为有些站点,和必须如此是最被恨添加物为这样站点。

PDF下载 -他们总计此是过度破坏为多数用户,或许,但他们就是在不包含ads的docs的不想要访客浪费带宽。

VideoDownloader -象这样的一addon再次允许他们要,无需必须通过页趟过在ads以后页的浏览器劫掠内容

Greasemonkey -这addon允许您操作站点从客户端和,因此显示他们,您祝愿,可能它是这将允许浏览器横跨一步各种各样一个富有广告的站点也许投掷在您的垃圾? 您betcha!

ScribeFire -好,他们也许有点与这blogging的addon,我不能也见点。

TrackMeNot is apparently for the overly paranoid, but even if you are paranoid it does not mean they are not out to get you…think twice before not using it to protect your privacy even if it does mean those marketing people don’t know where you are clicking to and from.

Tabbrowser Preferences and Tabbrowser Extensions - they may also have a point with these, but only if you plan to install and then uninstall them, but either one is useful so why would you do that?

If you already use all of these Firefox addons, you know why. If you do not, then I would recommend you take a good look at them. Most ad-averse users have the likes of Adblock installed and it can greatly improve the surfing experience by hiding all those ads. Of course, annoying the ad guys by using these extensions, could lead to them having to rebuild their business model. After all, without advertising, they might even have to start charging for their content. But such a model would only be valid if the content were worth having in the first place, would it not? Judge for your self.

    For any chemists reading your blog I’ll add that the ChemSpider Firefox (and IE) addin has also garnered interest of late to allow name based searches for over 10 million chemical structures on the ChemSpider index. See the following PDF file for details: http://tinyurl.com/32a76w

    Thanks for the heads-up on crawling the chemical web, but will it annoy advertisers, that’s what readers of this post will really want to know.

    If I worked for an ad agency, I would be happy that people are using adblock. People that use it aren’t going to click through anyways. Blocking ads just cuts out the people who aren’t interested, reduces accidental click-throughs, and saves bandwidth.

    I can see it annoying website owners. For that reason, the whitelist was invented. I know a lot of people that whitelist sites if they choose to support them.

    Anywho… great post!

    Interesting point Dan, and I think you’re right, even when I haven’t got AdBlock running (for instance when I have to use IE for whatever reason), I tend not to click ads. But, I think the vast majority of web surfers do not necessarily realize that they are clicking ads when they follow a tantalizing and neatly blended Google ad or text link anyway.

    I thought that Computerworld list was so absolutely LAME. IDG publishes some pretty good stuff the whole, but sometimes they write a real bomb like this one. :D Good times.

    Thanks for your thoughts Zach, I totally agree, which is why I replicated it here and added my own thoughts. Several of these addons everyday users can do without, but some of them are essential regardless of what ComputerWorld has to say about them ;-)

    You never have to leave FireFox if you have IETab http://ietab.mozdev.org/

  • David Bradley // May 12, 2007 at 7:51 am

    Blackout, yes IEtab is an excellent addon and means most of my time is spent within Firefox, but testing sites and using some proprietary web software requires me to open a standalone instance of IE, unfortunately. I have tried these apps in IEtab, but they simply don’t get on. Horses for courses and all that.

  • David Bradley // Sep 13, 2007 at 11:11 am

    It seems that since I posted this Top Ten, some sites have been blocking Firefox users per se, because they believe it’s not worth serving the page if they aren’t going to make any money out of the reader! Come on! How short-sighted is that.

  • noodles // Sep 25, 2007 at 4:44 pm

    Don’t forget:

    Stylish
    Easy Element Hiding (AdBlock Plus addon)
    Platypus
    Remove It Permanently

    If you’re going to use IEtab then you MUST install IE7pro for IE (it has the best in-browser ad-blocking)

  • David Bradley // Sep 25, 2007 at 6:33 pm

    Thanks for the suggestions noodles…

    I use Flashblock to avoid ads, the flash ones anyway (and there are tons of them about these days :-)

    Flashblock sounds like it’s worth a look, David, thanks for the pointer
