OT - NBA Live Ads 

Post#1 » by Mascot » Tue Oct 6, 2009 1:07 pm

Firefox Only

if anyone else is having the same problem as me with the Flash Ads driving their computer usage up to 97-99% heres how i fixed it.

This will block ALL FLASH so if you are wondering why other pages wont load this is why.
I placed a shortcut to the chrome folder on my desktop so i can just drag and drop the css file back and forth when I want to see others sites.

I had to wait about 5 mins for each window/page to load while they were running, now im running smoothly.

If someone can post here when they are gone from the site or the problem is fixed it would be great. I dont mind seeing the ads on this site.

Just use the adblock plus add-on for firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865. You can still use flash pages, but no more ads. I had actually switched computers recently and was using an older version of firefox without adblock and just re-installed it because of those stupid live 10 ads were slowing everything down (it is an older computer) and it works perfectly now. You can always uninstall the add-on if you want the ads later, but it seems like an easier solution than what you're proposing. JMO
