Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Very annoying. I use adblocker but it doesn't seem to get rid of many of them.yungman said:When I go on some forum, or even opening the Yahoo page, there is always some videos running on the side of the main screen. This really slow down the internet and some times bombed out firefox and I have to restart Firefox.
These are very annoying. I like to block all the side screens. Anyone can help.
Thanks
When videos appears always in the same spot, it sometimes helps to eliminate the whole "block" in which it appears.phinds said:I use adblocker but it doesn't seem to get rid of many of them.
Krylov said:Which forum? PF? Are these videos ads?
If the answer to the last question is yes: On PF so far I have never been bothered by ads. For Yahoo I think you could use an ad-blocker. I have one installed in Firefox, but I disable it on some sites because it interferes with the content, because the ads are in fact relevant or because I sympathize with the site and want it to make a bit of money, too. So: An ad-blocker could help, but I recommend using it selectively.
Also, you could consider disabling or uninstalling Flash. It is unsafe and a memory leak anyway. (More and more videos play in HTML5, so these will not be affected.)
Another place that slows down and have video is when I read articles on Yahoo front page. Now is a lot better after installing the ad-blocker. I am loving it, it's so quiet without the fan of the laptop going full blast!Krylov said:When videos appears always in the same spot, it sometimes helps to eliminate the whole "block" in which it appears.
