Firefox- what are scripts and how can they block ads

Asked By Scott P Daniels 50 points N/A Posted on - 02/07/2015

 I am a fan of Firefox browser and I hate being targeted by ads when browsing the internet. I found somewhere that there are scripts that help prevent the proliferation of targeted ads. Can anyone tell me what are scripts and how are they installed on the Firefox browser? Are these really safe or affiliated to malware?

Firefox- what are scripts and how can they block ads

Hello!

There are many options for you to avoid spams or getting unwanted advertisements while browsing. For Chrome, Mozilla, IE and other web-browsers there are wide range of add-on that you can download for free.

TACO – targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out

This add-on can stop your browser from getting unsolicited/unwanted advertisements. You can download it for free in Mozilla official website.

AdBlocker

Adblock Plus is also one of the most popular browser add-on for different browsers including Mozilla. It will block, remove, and avoid all unwelcome advertisements from your browser. It will not accept any cookies from any unsolicited spammers.
