Adblock Plus and (a little) more

How to Block Pop-Ups with a Firefox Ad Blocker · 2022-12-21 17:00 by alumni@eyeo.com

Firefox users know that the internet is a distracting place. There are annoying pop-ups and ads, trackers that collect your personal information to show you ads, and constant notifications that ask you to agree to a site’s cookies (so that you can be tracked and shown even more ads). Thankfully, there are solutions. You can block pop-ups with Firefox’s built-in browser feature. And you can block even more pop-ups, ad, and other distractions with a Firefox ad blocker like Adblock Plus.
