AdBlock plus and NoScript?

Post by Ivo »

I've been using NoScript together with my Firefox.
Anyone uses it?

What about Adblock plus?

What are the differences, is one better (apparently they don't like working together)?

I use Noscript only when the webpage is too slow to load. I use it with Admuncher. I don't know why they're mutually exclusive because their mechanisms should be independent from one another.

It is easier to use both of them. Because it is faster to block scripts with noscript than with adblock. And Adblock can be used to block annoying images.

I use both with no problems at all. With ABP and no NoScript, too many pages are still bogged down with useless javascript. With NoScript and no ABP, you still get animated gif ads, which suck. Best to use both.

Make sure you set an exception in ABP for racketboy.com. The syntax '@@|http://www.racketboy.com/' works here.

Websites in general should ask their users nicely to unblock their hosted ads and in return provide ads that aren't intrusive/annoying.

I use Adblock mostly to block pop-ups. Some websites have pop up ads every page, and that is just annoying.
