    lego...try it ...you will never want to live without after

    no ad's...no pop ups...at all....

    ok when you just on sites without much or any ad stress , you dont need it....

    my peeplink is clean e.g. but most anoying is pop up of another tabs and such...which get closed by the top blocker very fast

    I've heard there are ads at the beginning of YT vids. Haven't seen one for ages, thanks to NoScript and ublock Origin. [​IMG]

    I´ve been with peerblocks and all those things, but in the end, someone always knows, so I don´t care.. I can even give you my address, but sincerely that won´t change a bit, just fill those AI engines with nonsence, otherwise they go by rules of others

    Tor Browser based on Firefox.
    only use it for sites that are blocked.
    Never put your password or any credentialis in it.

    When I installed it, there was a question whether to let the add-on collect user behaviour but you had the option to uncheck it. So in theory if you were not dumb enough to click Next blindly, you must be save. Anyway you can never now but if you're worried, you should about your ISP's DNS server that tracks you anyway.

    Nano Defender only works with uBlock origin. (In fact, it was originally called uBlock Protector.) It won't work at all with Adblock Plus. Adblock Plus is older software and doesn't work so great now that it needs to use over 100,000 filters in a standard setup. uBlock is much more efficient.

    There are builds of uBlock that do that... as long as you're installing uBlock Origin from addons.mozilla.org you should be OK. Avoid anything that's not on addons.mozilla.org, and anything that is "uBlock" by itself or "uBlock [insert stupid name here]", only use uBlock Origin.
