I don't need adblocking inside the browser. I'm using a hosts file that I appended to /etc/hosts and that's it. It's faster than a plugin based solution since those usually even use regular expressions and such. It has some minor drawbacks though: - every host has to be specified literally - no pattern matching - you can't disable adblocking depending on the site visited -- Eckehard Berns
