Adblock Plus

i know i sound retarted i dont know how any of this works... where do you put those codes to block them and what is a whitelist?

To "put codes" you click on ABP icon - "preferences" - "add filter" (lower left corner).

A "whitelist" is the opposite of a "blacklist".
The blacklist includes items that have to be blocked/hidden, the whitelist includes items that are allowed.

The typical use in ABP is:
1. you block everything that comes from the address "adserver.com" ( ||adserver.com^ ).
2. you write an "exception" so "adserver.com" is allowed on site "example.com" ( @@||adserver.com^$domain=example.com )

I know but I believe it could become one in future builds of ABP. Who said ABP is done with development? (ans: no one)

When can the ABP team finally fix waiting for 30-60 secs every ad?

Now, the ads are getting really long, I think I'd prefer 30s of nothing than 1-sometimes even 2 whole minute of Chrome and/or Critiron Collection ads.

In fact, the ads are getting so long, having a blank screen actually makes the waiting time a shorter (and very rarely longer, no more than 15s longer when they are sometimes shortened by 1 min) Hulu is getting really stupid with their ad model. Can't they just switch to "clutter" ads so we don't have to wait so long?

To keep the wait times down for hulu, please add these 2 exception rules to easylist:
@@||ads.hulu.com/*.swf
@@||ads.hulu.com/*fps*trimmed*.flv

It works! try it!

how do i add filter to easylist and fanboy????? it wont let me add! D: im new to this so please help me

you cannot modify subscriptions.
you need to add them to your custom filters.
