Tech Tip 09

Seriously speeding up your browsing AND your computer by blocking Adobe Flash ads in your browser.

Anyone who uses a browser can identify with this problem. You surf to a website, and the pages seem to take forever to load. You have to wait for all of the ads on the site to display before you finally get to see the content you came for.

Not only that, but when your browser is open, everything seems sluggish on your computer.

The culprit? It just might be the Adobe Flash plugin for your browser.  Many websites employ flash these days for their ads, and while it is a great technology for ad displays, it may not be the best friend of a fast browsing experience.

The cure? It depends on which browser you use. Below is a list of browsers and the various Flash blockers for them:

Internet Explorer - AdBlock Pro $19.95

Internet Explorer - IE7Pro - Free

FireFox - Flashblock - Free - Donatins requested

Safari - ClickToFlash - Free  - Donations requested
