Belatucadrus Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 While reading the BBC article on AdBlock plus latest court victory against the advertisers who want to shut t down I noted a bit on Firefox which may be of interest :- Mozilla is also promoting the optional Tracking Protection feature for its Firefox browser, which stops many internet cookies from being downloaded.This limits the ability of affected sites to show personalised adverts, which are worth more money to them.Earlier this week, one of the organisation's former employees published a paper suggesting that use of the tool sped up page load times by about 44%. She called on the organisation to switch the setting on by default.Now if true it seems worth ticking the relevant option box. May be surplus to requirements if your running Ghostery or Disconnect.

-pops- Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I use this Tracking Protection as well as AdBlock+ and Ghostery. I get very, very few adverts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Good read as the tick box in settings appears pretty useless from what this says, I'm giving it a go on the revised settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
