Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 94035

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031107 Debian/1.5-3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031107 Debian/1.5-3

it would be nice to have ad filtering build right into the browser.
JunkBuster and the others work well, but for the average user setting up a local
HTTP proxy is too painful.
an average user would only have one browser, so integrating the ad filtering
into it is okay.
and running a proxy 24/7, even if not browsing is wasting resources.
the built-in ad fliter would nicely fit with the popup blocking as well!

Reproducible: Always

some sort of ad filtering is already available by blocking images from specific
sites, but preconfigured URLs of the major ad sites would be easier.

Try out the AdBlock extension.
