How to disable ads on websites
Advertising surrounds us everywhere - on television, onstreets and on the Internet. However, if you can cope with advertising on TV, only completely turning off the TV, then on the Internet everything is much easier, the main thing to figure out how to do it right. There are several main types of aggressive advertising on the Internet - pop-ups, banners and flash advertising. Each of these types is created using a specific set of programs and in the same way, a set of effective tools can be used to combat advertising.
How to disable ads on YouTube
Perhaps advertising on YouTube is itselfannoying for many users. This is caused, first of all, by the fact that even before watching the shortest videos, you are shown ads lasting not less than 20 seconds, and often much more. The most effective way to combat such advertising is to install a special plug-in for the browser, which simply "cuts" all unnecessary content.
This AdBlock extension is called and downloadit can be on the add-ons page for your browser. It has a number of advantages, because it allows you to avoid advertising almost all types on a variety of sites. However, AdBlock has its drawbacks: first, it needs to be configured in advance, and secondly, it does not work with all browsers (for example, for IE such an application does not exist).
If you want to disable advertising exclusivelyon YouTube, and the rest does not touch, then in this case there is an exit. We go to the main page of YouTube and open the browser console for Fire Fox - you need to press the combination Ctrl + Shift + K, for IE - F12 and on the tab choose Console, in Chrome and Opera the console opens with the combination Ctrl + Shift + J.
When the console is opened, insert the following code without quotes into it: "document.cookie = "VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE = oKckVSqvaGw; path = /; domain = .youtube.com"; window.location.reload (); ". This code was created specially by YouTube employees (probably for some kind of market research), so that users can correct the cookies when viewing the site and thus get rid of advertising.
How to remove advertising in social networks
To remove advertising in social networks in the same way asand in the previous case, you can use the AdBlock application. If it does not suit you for some reason, you can use other programs or various tricks. So, in the case of the popular social network VKontakte in RuNet, there is one interesting variant of the fight against advertising in the left block of the page. All you need to do is change the language settings in your account.
By default, the "Russian" language is selected, butthere is also the "Soviet". If you change, settings and put yourself "Soviet", then the advertisement will disappear. Most likely, this is due to the fact that the development team simply did not register all the necessary conditions for displaying advertisements with such settings. But this does not prevent us from taking advantage of the ability to effectively disable ads.
How to remove ads on all sites
There are many programs of banner suppressors,which can be used as an alternative to AdBlock, in particular, Adguard. To use them you need to download and install the program, then run it and click on the "Enable Protection" button.
In addition, in browsers Opera and FireFox removeadvertising can be through the settings, for this go to the "General Settings" menu and remove the checkboxes "Enable image animation" and "Use Java Script". Next, in the "Tools / Settings" section, select the option "Block non-requested pop-up windows". However, this method can cause incorrect display of some sites running on Java Script.
