Super_Spartan 56 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hello. well as you can see i want to know which Adblocker or PopUP Blocker ( like uBlock extension ) is trusted by ESET in Privacy terms and ... Regards,Parham I found that uBlock doesn't suit my needs because it doesn't allow me to add the Facebook Annoyances Blockers and the "I do not care about cookies" filter list even when I add it to my custom filters list, it doesn't actually work so I continue to use my trusted AdBlock Plus but when installing it, make sure you uncheck the box in the filters that says "Allow some non-intrusive ads" Here are the filters that I use: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former ESET Employees dwomack 160 Posted September 14, 2016 Former ESET Employees Share Posted September 14, 2016 ESET doesn't officially recommend for or against any specific programs for suppressing ad display. It's always safer to avoid clicking ads at all but that's not why I personally use ad blockers. It's mostly just to avoid the visual clutter they cause on websites. As a personal user, I've used Adblock Plus and been happy with it...until this news hit yesterday: hxxp://www.theverge.com/2016/9/13/12890050/adblock-plus-now-sells-ads Now, I have the same question as you do. Perhaps it's time to just deal with the visual clutter, continue using safe online practices and rely on multi-layered security solutions like ESET and their partners provide, just to be safe.

rugk 397 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 There are other ad blockers of course, e.g. uBlock Origin: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomFace 539 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) In Firefox I use Adguard (as an extension). In IE11 I use Adblock Plus - but with the news dwomack brings I'll have to re-examine that. I spend most my time in Firefox. I do not click on ads (just like dwomack), so again it's mostly to clear up the clutter. Edited October 17, 2016 by TomFace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
