Blocking ADs

Here's a simple yet powerful tip to speed up internet browsing speed: BLOCK WEB PAGE ADs!

For a while now, I've been using this great ad blocking program for firefox known as Ad Block Plus. Basically, it's a Firefox extension. Now before anyone of you comment that you've tried ad blocking programs before and they never worked that well, well...try this one. It's a bit different since let's you select a list (or a combination of lists) that's publicly updated which includes AD's others have blocked. This helps since if you visit a popular site, chances are someone else already blocked that AD and so you don't have to.

Now you may ask, how does blocking ADs speed up internet browsing speed? Well per se, it doesn't really make anything faster in terms of downloading the page (although in some instances it does) since it'll download the AD anyway and then block it (again, in some instances). But there are some ADs which seems to slow down page scrolling so by having those ADs blocked, it will help by making scrolling smooth again.
