How can we get rid of those bothersome ads on our favorite web sites? Let's examine two examples: freshmeat.net and yahoo.com.
On the freshmeat.net web site, right-click on the advertising picture and then on copy image location at the bottom of the menu. Then go to the New Banned Advertising Domain section, click on the middle mouse button or on both mouse buttons, simultaneously. Erase the last part of the URL and you will get ads.freshmeat.net. Now add this domain to the list.
New Banned Advertising Domain | ads.freshmeat.net |
On the yahoo.com web site, right-click on the advertising picture and then on copy image location at the bottom of the menu. Then go to the New Banned Advertising URL section and click on the middle mouse button or on both mouse buttons, simultaneously, to paste the information. Erase the last part of the URL and you will get us.a1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/a/pr/promo/anchor. Now add this URL to the list. If you click on your browser's Refresh button several times and copy the image location, you will get several different URLs:
us.a1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/a/ya/promo/anchor us.a1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/a/an/promo/anchor us.a1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/a/ya/yahoopager/messenger us.a1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/a/ya/yahoo_auctions |
New Banned URL | us.a1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/a/an/anchor |
The ads corresponding to this particular URLs will not be displayed.
The lists for the two categories will then appear. Select any item
in those lists and delete it by selecting it and clicking the
Suppress button: , if you wish so.
When you have gone through those lists, go on to the next step. This will get you back to the main WebProxy filtering page.
