I don't use it myself, and for most people I don't see the need. On the other hand I would *not* use a browser without installed! If besides ads you want to also disable tracking, Adblock Plus . Scott.
PS: As for the forum issues we had a couple of glitches that should be solved.

Yes indeed. You don't know what you are missing if you haven't tried it. Scott.

I have the latest versions of both Firefox and Adblock Plus installed and running as I type this, works perfectly for me. I haven't seen problems with any of the sites I visit, and if it there is it can be quickly disabled either just for that site (which it will remember) or completely. Scott.

Check out on ad blockers. Could they do more harm than good?

They have been in use for years and so far IMHO have done far more good than bad. I would never intentionally want to go without one.

Scott, I have Adblock Plus 2.9.1 for Firefox, but it doesn't seem to block anything at the present time. I know this is a period of transition for Firefox (a page concerning Adblock Plus 2.9.1 does have the word "LEGACY" next to the title), but how can my issue be rectified? Should I replace Adblock Plus with ? (You might to check out.)

Try uninstalling and then reinstalling, that normally solves this problem. Scott.

Scott, the Adblock Plus that I have for Google Chrome may be interfering with Yahoo! Mail. Should I whitelist Yahoo! Mail? Keep in mind that I have two Yahoo! Mail accounts.

I try to minimize my use of Microsoft products wherever possible. I would use Thunderbird over Outlook. Scott.

Clarification: I currently don't have Outlook installed on the desktop PC I usually use. I use the Outlook website to check e-mail for a certain account of mine when using said desktop PC. Still...

It looks like . I don't want to block some ads, I want to block as many as possible. I'd just recommend using something like Adblock Plus instead. Scott.

Scott, what do you have to say about Google Chrome's ? It's supposed to be comprehensive.

So far not much. How does it compare against Adblock Plus? Scott.

Check and out, Scott. Note the concerns about tracking.
