As of today, Facebook users will automatically be subject to more invasive privacy policies under the updated Terms and Conditions. This may be frightening, but their moves to individualize advertising – even outside Facebook – are really nothing new. However, it is now official. If you don’t like it, you can either quit Facebook or, along with checking a few settings, just activate Adbock Plus privacy features.

ABP for IE Installer for Active Directory · 2015-01-16 10:29 by Oleksandr Paraska
We have been contacted quite a few times by admins, willing to deploy ABP on the whole network, not just on a single machine. On Windows that is usually achieved through Active Directory and Group Policy Objects. Since our usual installer MSIs have language transforms embedded, they don’t work in that environment. This is why we are starting development builds of special installers, built without language transforms to allow for large scale deployments.
