R.I.P. - Remove It Permanently.
There is a plug-in for Firefox that I absolutely love. It's called RIP for Remove it Permanently. You can use it to remove annoying ads or text off of your favorite web pages. Here's an example.
This is the website of the local rag. I usually don't mind the ads. They are from local businesses. I will even click them on occasion. But, this hideous green one annoys the hell out of me. It flashes through several frames and is really distracting.
So, I right click on what I want to remove. You can see the options. You can remove it permanently, or you can click on advanced and it will present you with a list of options you can use. For this, I selected "this item only". I also removed the item at the top.
This is what is left after I remove the ads.
If you make a mistake. There is an option to undo the last option you selected and you can restore it. Nice, huh? I highly recommend it.
