So this morning i login to my orkut a/c and guess what... i'm greeted with annoying vulgar ads [see below].
Well i appreciate free services provided by these companies (including Google) and do allow ads from online sites at times but that doesn't mean you will show any bulls**t to me.
And then i added orkut as well to my ads filter. Here is how you can avoid these ads using Firefox.
1. Install latest firefox release from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
2. Open firefox and install latest release of AdBlock Plus Plugin from http://adblockplus.org/en/installation
3. Select one of the Filter subscription (this is a default blacklist contributed by the community and helps you combat with many generic Ads) [I'm subscribed to EasyList]
Now you are ready to block any unwanted Ads whenever you encounter them while surfing. Just right click on the area where AD is appearing; a menu like below will appear
Select "Adblock IFrame" or "Adblock Frame" (whichever is the case). You will see something like below appear.
We will edit that to further block any ADs like this.
Thats it. Say "OK" and you are done. You won't see any further ADs on orkut. Say cheese.... :-)
