Easy Ad-Block with Internet Explorer 9 - Part 2

In one of my earlier posts on Ad-Block With Internet Explorer 9 I mentioned two lists for you to use. These lists will effectively kill almost all ads and tracking for your browsers.

Please be advised that the EasyList list may in some cases render flash video unusable. I have disabled the list in my Internet Explorer. I now have less problems with playing flash videos and since I have not noticed an increase in ads on websites, I pass this usefull tip on to you. :-)

Easy Ad-Block With Internet Explorer 9

Today I looked for a neat ad-block plugin for Internet Explorer 9 and was unable find any that I liked. Many of them did not have the same easy administration as the legendary Ad Block Plus for Firefox or came at a price.

On my way around the web I stumpled upon the new term in Internet Explorer 9 called Tracking Protection Lists - and this is actually why no real plugin is available: The feature is already built right into the browser! :-)

To use this very simple feature, just go to the site http://iegallery.com/en/trackingprotectionlists/ and add the TPL that you want. When you are done, most ads are history. I subscribe to both the Ad-block plus list and the Fan Boy list.

If you come across a site, that is not working properly, you can turn off TPLs for that individual site by clicking the TPL icon in the address bar. This will only affect the current site and leave other sites as they are.

I really like this feature, using it I have a better experience with Internet Explorer 9 when surfin' the web. :-)

Happy surfin'!
