You know the problem, you love watching Ustream, Justin.TV and the many others streaming sites out there but in order to provide a Free Service to all – they plasters the page with adverts and this can get distracting. You want a way to get rid of these and view the page as it was intended? then read on..  

Without any software installed

As you can see form the screenshot taken above – we have an advert in the header (For Skype) and right there inside the video is yet another password, in the hope that a person might click them and make the site money. It can get worse then this with adverts opening over the top of the entire page, Justin.TV for example has a POPUP that comes up right as you enter a stream – so how do we get rid of this?

Step into the Mix Firefox & Adblock Plus

First you need to be using Firefox – once you have that running – go and grab Adblock Plus – choose a filter ste (i choose the top one) and you are now good to go. I have not seen an advert on any any of these sites for some time now – I am sure a couple might make it through but in all – they should now be gone.

To get this firefox plug-in – head off to http://api.yoono.com

This is a Firefox Plugin and adds a sidebar which to the left, you get pop ups on any status updates across all of your social networks, I have only just installed this so time will tell how useful it will be but it looks good to me so far.

There is a very good plugin for firefox called Save Complete which allows you in Firefox to right click the page your viewing and save it – complete with graphics, js files and anything else (plus css). Why is this useful? well imagine you had a nice looking WordPress theme and wanted the rest of your site to look the same – with this you can view the demo of the theme and do a complete save then you edit the results in say Dreamweaver and make yourself a good looking page without all the hard work.

As it says on the plugin page:

Saves a webpage completely, providing a better alternative to the flawed built-in save functionality of Firefox.

Give it a whirl today – it’s just what the doctor ordered.
