    All we know the availability of popular AdBlockers lying around... but frankly, these are too bloated with several features and options which most of us don't use beyond the defaults. So, this extension was made for those of us who don't care about all that stuff but does about just getting rid of all the nasty resources being loaded by websites.

    This is a lightweight extension (ie, 30KB compared to ~700KB of other popular adblockers), which was made with performance in mind. No configurable options, subscriptions, additional features, etc It just block what can go to hell ;-)

    How this is achieved is thanks to just seven hard-coded blocking rules covering about 8400 .com and .net domains, these were auto-generated from Easylist. That means, every time a certain resource wants to be loaded we will have to iterate through a list of seven compiled patterns, rather than for each entry from a common Easylist which contains hundreds of different items to check... You can now figure things out for yourself...

    Next i'll let you decide if this is for you... as long performance is in your mind, it should.

    You can turn the extension on/off at any time by clicking the toolbar button.

    Thanks for this one ~ giving it a trial ~ if works as advertised, it will replace two other add-ons.

    This certainly does make some pages load quicker - or perhaps just feeling a bit crisper, less laggy......????

    However, in order to keep up to date for Seamonkey you need to visit the addon homepage and check the version, then you need to use the converter at http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/ to convert the Firefox version to Seamonkey.

    It doesn't block ads on search results pages which can be annoying, I run it along with Bitdefender's traffic-light addon for a bit of extra info.

    You don't need to convert it for seamonkey. It's available on the seamonkey addons.

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/bluhell-firewall/

    since compatibility checker is install you can just click on add to seamonkey and install anyway.

    Text ads may be shown on search result pages but when you click on them bluhell firewall step in before you can proceed.
