outdated Safari 4, of course) and Tenfourfox 7450-38.10. I use
Tenfourfox to open hotmail outlook and recently it has started to
get bogged down by graphic-heavy ad banners on the side. Any
suggestions on how I could block these ads? Thanks for your time
(and for supporting our old but still wonderful Macs!)</p></div>askesktag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/405632462016-08-18T19:58:32Z2016-08-18T19:58:32Zblocking ads on hotmail and other sites<div><p>You could install Adblock Plus or uBlock Origin. Both of these
extensions will take care of your problem.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/405632462016-08-18T22:23:32Z2016-08-18T22:23:32Zblocking ads on hotmail and other sites<div><p>Thank you, Chris. It's bed time in my neck of the woods, but I
will try<br>
your suggestions tomorrow. Thanks for your time.</p></div>askesktag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/405632462016-08-19T13:00:10Z2016-08-19T13:00:10Zblocking ads on hotmail and other sites<div><p>Hello, Chris. I have downloaded uBlock Origin for Firefox and it
works like<br>
a charm on hotmail outlook. However it seems to prevent me from
using some<br>
features of another website I use quite often (full screen
slideshow on<br>
yourshot.nationalgeographic.com). I tried adding this website to
the<br>
whitelist but it still blocks the feature. I am not very adept at
playing<br>
with the various toggles, but will try.</p>
<p>Thank you for your help so far anyways.</p></div>askesktag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/405632462016-08-19T14:15:44Z2016-08-19T14:18:10Zblocking ads on hotmail and other sites<div><p>You can disable uBlock for yourshot.nationalgeographic.com by
clicking the big blue Power button when you're at that site, see
screenshot. But this also depends on the filter lists you're using
and whether you've enabled element hiding (cosmetic filtering).</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/405632462016-08-19T14:21:09Z2016-08-19T14:21:09Zblocking ads on hotmail and other sites<div><p>Oh, Gosh... I'm such an oaf.<br>
Thank you for your help and for you patience with my

added to the whitelist automatically.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)
