So, AdBlock Plus (and Habr was warmly met by him ), AdFree , AdBlocker and others got under the distribution. It is clear that, formally, these applications do harm the tools for monetizing applications through advertising, but the step itself is not very beautiful. AdBlock for Firefox seems to work as it should, so you can save yourself from advertising on the Internet.
