1 Great Way to Get Rid of Trashy Ads

Trashy ads bothering you? Here's a simple way to help protect your space.
You don't have to live with the ads on Facebook (or the rest of the internet)!

You can get rid of them if you are using Firefox as your web browser with the adblock plus plugin!

If you do not have Firefox, start here:
1. Download and install Firefox
go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html
click the download button to download firefox
2. Install firefox
3. After installing, run firefox

If you are already using Firefox, start here:
4. In firefox go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
this is called Adblock Plus
5. Click "Add to Firefox"
It will install (may require a few more clicks)
6. Restart firefox
7. When firefox restarts, it will show a subscription page. Select "Easy List (USA)".
8. Bam, your ads are gone!


A few notes:
--You should now have an adblock icon in your top-right corner (looks like a stop sign).
--Some legitimate web images may accidentally be blocked by adblocker (for example, it sometimes blocks the main picture on the kmbc homepage. You can disable adblock to check or select "disable for __site__". (both of these are found at the stop sign.)
