Another factor worth testing is the number of sites broken by the adblock. I tried Ghostery for a while and eventually removed it when I realize it was braking so many sites. Thank you, You have to be careful when running more than one extension that does the same thing because it can actually slow the whole blocking process down. If Adblock Edge + Ghostery was setup to block the same scripts, that could have been part of your problem. One worthwhile test would be, does the script have a way to deal with sites that refuse to work if they sense an AdBlocker?

Unfortunately, some free downloads do not adequately disclose that other software will also be installed and you may find that you have installed adware without your knowledge. Once an adware program is installed on your device, whenever you will browse the Internet, malicious sites will redirect your browser to unwanted advertisements. The above images are examples of unwanted advertisements within the browser that are usually caused by adware installed on your computer. These ads will overlay the content on the page and when you click on a link, it will just open a pop-up to another advertisement. Also, you might experience new tabs opening, a change in your home page, findings from a search engine you never heard of, or even a redirect to an NSFW website. Admuncher has some big problems, one being it doesn’t work on HTTPS connections, so Google, YouTube or anything else that uses a secure connection won’t have the ads blocked. It also doesn’t support the world’s most used browser, IE11, so it’s not quite true it works with “all” browsers.

• While it blocked the two popups from animefushigi, it failed to block any of the on-page advertisements.

Resetting your The Watson-Scott Test download browser settings will reset the unwanted changes caused by installing other programs. However, your saved bookmarks and passwords will not be cleared or changed.

In this final step, if your browser is still redirected to malicious sites, we will need to reset the web browser settings to their original defaults. When it comes to adware, these malicious programs are bundled with other free software that you download off of the Internet.

Ghostery can block quite a lot more than just adds, and is a very nice privacy tool. Also, Disconnect cannot just block ads alone without configuring every site manually, and that breaks our rule of not changing any configuration options. The only exception was Ghostery which forces you to go through the wizard on first run, then we could choose just ad blocking. The problems you are talking about will be cured by just about any ad blocker, with ads blocked they all reduce the page load time by roughly the same amount, give or take a few KB.

To remove the adware and browser hijackers from Firefox we will reset the browser settings to its default. The reset feature fixes many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information like bookmarks, passwords, web form auto-fill information, browsing history, and open tabs.
