Filters like WebWasher filter on PARTS of the URL. Neat. Adblock Plus doesn't even need any additional programs, and it has a huge performance advantage due to the available DOM content.

But is it as customisable as WebWasher (parts of URLs, own list, exceptions)? And does it work both with IE6, IE7, FF and Opera? Where can I find more info (to test and compare) -- Lars-Erik - http://www.osterud.name - ICQ 7297605

Sadly I have to use IE6 and IE7 for things (bad applications). And even though I do that using IE-TAB, it uses the IE enginge. Will AdBlock work then? How does it filter? Does it remove images etc before they are fetched (like WebWasher). I like the speedup not having to waste bandwith on junk.... I guess WebWsher works like this 1) Fetches HTML-code for page 2) Removes all things filters find 3) Forwards HTML-code to browser 4) Browser fetches IMG tags that still are in the code Of course a litt delay since it need to fetch the HTML, parse it, and send it to the browser, but it's not noticable at all on my PCs... How does AdBlock work in comparison, can you explain a bit more? -- Lars-Erik - http://www.osterud.name - ICQ 7297605 |
