What Ad blocking plugins do people use here (Firefox on Xubuntu mostly)?
My web browsers go via a network proxy to a server running privoxy My server runs dnsmasq which has a file containing a "block list" containing bad and ad-serving sites
e.g. pgl.yoyo.org/adservers
These sites are redirected to a localhost port that is served by a simple webserver that just serves a page showing "adblock".
On the browser, I use Better privacy flashblock Ghostery
This cuts out almost all of my ads, but I occasionally get problems, mainly caused by the blocklist/webserver as sometimes a webpage is expecting a response from a ad-site but can't get it because it's been rerouted. When I ran that redirection without ghostery, there were many more problems.
