I wonder if they will allow the ads to be seen even with the ad block plus plugin.... Granted the definitions list is made by someone else, I guess I'll have to start monitoring and adding to the list as it works its way through.

I haven't checked in a while but Adblock Plus was allowing Google Ads as acceptable. That's when I switched to Adblock Edge, it has no "acceptable" so maybe it'll take out the Firefox Ads... guess I'll see. :)

You mean Adblock EDGE, the redo, as Adblock Plus itself now allows for some "unobtrusive" advertising.

security is not the problem. Google tracks you. I like being private.

I stay as far away from Google as I can get. Use Start Page HTTPS for searches, self destructing cookies, Disconnect, and Anonymox... +Adblock Edge

You can also run the addon "DoNotTrackMe" in FF... works great.
I have tested both and like Disconnect better by a small margin.

Disconnect (Firefox/Chrome/IE/Safari) is our pick because it continues to add useful features and improve its database, and its secure Wi-Fi and bandwidth optimization features aren't available in other tools. It blocks third party tracking cookies and gives you control over all site scripts and elements from a simple-to-use toolbar menu. It also protects you from tracking by social networks like Facebook, Google, and Twitter, which use your browsing even off-site to collect data about you. Finally, Disconnect protects you from sidejacking (or widgetjacking), where an attacker can use stolen cookies to access personal data without having to know your password, with its Secure Wi-Fi feature.

Cheers!
I guess I wouldn't need FaceBook Disconnect either with your Disconnect?
Also, what do you think of Mask Me?

Never heard of "Facebook disconnect". Guess it's the same only limited to facebook.
Here's a little video:

oh, I said by a small margin. but I'm old, I meant "Large margin" over DoNotTrackMe.
