You can add http://noscript.net/ to Firefox. This blocks scripts from running and many adverts run scripts, some are malicious. There is a control box at the bottom right of the browser window that allows you see what scripts are on the page listed by the network that they refer too. You can temporarily enable those or permanently enable. You can block many of the scripts that place cookies on your computer and track what sites you go do to feed you adds specific to your cookies history, but then you will not see the related ads at all. When you are at a website that feeds you 3rd party ads, a script is run on the 3rd party site. This means that the website that you visited has no control over what happens, good or bad. Some things that you want to work on a website will need to be enabled. Many features on a website will not work until the website has it's scripts enabled. If you want to use live chat for tech or sales assistance, you need to enable that. If you want to display online views of a printed sales flier of such, you will need to guess what script to enable. Pages can display faster if scripts are blocked. Example: CNN.com has around ten different organizations trying to run scripts on the CNN home page. If you leave most blocked, the page loads faster. However, this blocked content is part of the page layout. When these elements are blocked, on some pages such as this, the layout of the page will look a bit wrong. You will also find the pages to be 'not graphic rich". Why do I want to have a script from facebook.net run when I view the CNN home page? When I read about the effects of the current snow storm in the south east, there are scripts trying to run on 13 different internet domains, not counting ones from CNN.com that I do enable.
