Hello everybody, I'm new .

This thread would like to be a tutorial, but before making it into one I'd like to discuss it with more people.

I'm a kind of paranoid person, I hate advertisement and website that run lots of javascript and whats not on my computer so I usually install in my firefox adblockplus, noscripts, flashblock.

Adblockplus uses a remote list of ads providers that you have to subscribe when you install it ( I usually choose a French list provided since I live in EU ), once installed it will remove a lot of advertisement from you WorldWideWeb experience;

NoScript can seem a little intrusive at first, practically it blocks every website to run any script on your machine, then it gives you a menu where you can white-list a domain or a website or permit temporarily anything on a single web page, usually the first couple of days after installation are a bit annoying because you need to create the white-list of the usual website you visit, but after a while it can save bandwidth and headaches especially if you are using windows...and for people who are paranoid about whats running on their computer this add-on give a lot of control and of clue about the Internet jungle;

FlashBlock simply block any animated flash web application and give you a <play> button to play it in case you really want, usually after noscript there is not the need for flashblock, but personally I don't like youtube "autoplay once open" sort of things;

I'd like to make a nice tutorial with links to the add-ons and screen-shots about the usage, anyone interested? is it a good idea for a tutorial-guide? where could I post it? in tutorials? in The Internet-Web browsers section ( here )?

Thanks a lot,
