Advertising Domains/URLs

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. 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. 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
and so on...

New Banned URL us.a1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/a/an/anchor

The ads corresponding to this particular URL 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 to do so.

When you have gone through those lists, go on to the next step. This will get you back to the main web-proxy filtering page.
