Firefox is known as the quintessential free browser. Users can not only download it free of charge, they can also expand its abilities in almost unlimited ways. A dedicated developer community makes this possible by programming and updating special extensions called "add-ons." One big helper for surfing comfort and speed is provided through an add-on called "Adblock Plus." As the name suggests, it eliminates ad banners. During installation, the user can subscribe to filter lists that are updated to recognize and block new domain addresses used to transport ads.
