Advertising, despite its necessity, is one of the most annoying factors in our lives, including online, so network users often wonder how to turn off advertising. Disabling banners, videos and pop-ups not only makes browsing the Internet comfortable, but also speeds up the loading of web pages. Not to mention the fact that a significant part of advertising not only does not carry useful information, but also has dubious content and spreads viruses.
How to disable ads on sites? There are several ways to block it.
Via browser settings
In any browser, there are functions to disable online advertising. To prohibit it in Internet Explorer, you will have to completely abandon video, images and sound. To do this, go to the "Services" section, make the transition to "Internet Options." A window will open in which you need to select the "Advanced" section. A list will open in which to uncheck the boxes next to "Include Images" and "Play Sounds, Videos, Animations." Click “OK” and reboot the system for the changes to take effect. Now pages will load faster, but even the right images will not be available.
How to disable ads in Opera? To block it, you need to open the "Tools" section in the browser menu, then go to "General Settings", then "Advanced" then "Content". Find the line “Enable JavaScript” and “Enable animation”, uncheck the boxes next to these items. Then go from the “Tools” section to “General Settings”, then to “General”. Find the “Pop-up” item, select “Block unsolicited” in the drop-down list , click “OK”. In Opera, you can configure Java to be enabled only for trusted websites. To do this, in the settings in the "Advanced" section, go to the "Settings for sites" item, add a trusted site, go to the "Scripts" section and enable the use of Java.
Similarly, ads are blocked in FireFox. Launch the browser, in the menu open "Tools", then - "Settings". Select the "Content" section, in which uncheck the boxes next to "Use JavaScript" and "Block pop-ups." The disadvantage of this method of blocking is that with disabled Java scripts, web pages will not display correctly.
Blocking with plugins
Unnecessary information can be blocked using special plugins. How to disable ads by applying them? To do this, download the Flash Block browser extension from the Internet and install it. After enabling this plugin in the browser, not only ads will disappear, but browser games will stop functioning. After installing the extension, you need to configure the functions for loading the desired flash content.
In order to remove ads from the browser completely, you need to install the Adblock plus add-on, which not only disables banners, videos, pop-ups, but also takes care of the safety and privacy of users. The plugin is available for the most popular browsers: Chrome, FireFox, Opera. With this extension, you can disable both all or part of unnecessary information.
Using these two plugins, you can achieve the most convenient work on the Internet without annoying advertising, leaving the necessary blocks.
Software Blocking
How to disable ads using special programs? To block it, you can use special means, which today are quite a lot. An example is the easy-to-use Adquard program, which supports all popular and some less common browsers. It must be downloaded from the boarding school, installed on a computer and run. In the program window, find the “Enable protection” item and click on it. The program will only block ads.
