Adblock plus saving the day
The following list contains my entries for Adblock Plus, a great add-on for Firefox that can block content originating from certain servers. These few entries were enough to block almost all of the annoying content for a long time.
/[_/-]ad(s(erv(er)?)?)?[._/0-9-]/
/^https?://([^/]+\.)?doubleclick\.net//
/^https?://([^/]+\.)?atdmt\.com//
/^https?://..*129\.125\.101\.92/
/^https?://([^/]+\.)?zango\.com//
/^https?://([^/]+\.)?adultfriendfinder\.com//
/^https?://([^/]+\.)?fastclick\.net//
/^https?://([^/]+\.)?adform\.net//
/[_/-]advertorials?[_/-]/
/^https?://([^/]+\.)?sitemeter\.com//
The fourth rule blocks any query sent to a server where my IP is part of the path or query.
After installing NoScript the need for an advertisement blocker has diminished, which is quite clear from the statistics; Whereas all of the rules would block stuff now and again most of them have gone obsolete: 97.4% of all ads are blocked with the very first rule!
