I'm a VRChat mute who likes to dance, chill, and spend time with friends. A remote user sent me a screenshot that contains a blue ribbon icon with a white star. I don't have that in my Firefox. Attached screenshots Chosen solution Judging from the icon, it's related to bookmarks. Searching bookmarks on the Add-ons site turned up two.

So many ads, so little patience… It’s time to stop the madness.

The average person sees an average of 4,000 ads a day. If you think that’s too many, an ad blocker is your new best friend.

An ad blocker is a piece of software that can be used to block ads, and they work in two ways. The first way is when an ad blocker blocks the signal from an advertiser’s server, so the ad never shows up on your page. Another way ad blockers work is by blocking out sections of a website that could be ads.

These ads might be loud video ads, ads that follow you around the web, trackers, third-party cookies, and more. To use an ad blocker, you can search for ad blocker add-ons that are available in your browser. Firefox, for example, has this list of approved ad blocker add-ons. Click on this list (or ad blockers that are approved for your browser) and see which fits your needs.

Find the right ad blocker for you

There’s AdBlocker Ultimate that gets rid of every single ad, but buyer beware. Some of your favorite newspapers and magazines rely on advertising. Too many people blocking their ads could put them out of business.

Popup ads are the worst. Block them with Popup Blocker and never deal with another annoying popup again.

One of the most popular ad blockers for Chrome, Safari and Firefox is AdBlock. Use it to block ads on Facebook, YouTube and Hulu.

Create a tracker-free zone with Content Blocking

On Firefox, you can use Privacy or Content Blocking settings to get even more control over ad trackers that serve you the ads.

Choose your level of protection

To start, click on the Firefox menu in the top right-hand corner of your screen. It looks like three lines stacked on top of each other. In the drop-down menu, click on Content Blocking. You should see a blue pop-up with different selections.

Go easy with Standard mode

If ads don’t bother you and you don’t mind being followed by trackers and third-party cookies, then the Standard setting should work for you. To get trackers off your tail in Standard mode, use a Private Browsing window.

Get tough with Strict mode

If seeing too many ads ruins your day, then the Strict mode is a better fit. This mode will block known third-party trackers and cookies in all Firefox windows.

Do-it-yourself Custom mode

The Custom setting gives you the ultimate choice. You can decide what you’re blocking, including trackers, cookies and more. If you allow cookies from a website, you’ll automatically be in Custom mode.

Cover your trail, block trackers

Click on the Trackers box and you’ll be able to block trackers in two ways. One way to block trackers is to do it when you’re working in a Private Window. Another way to do it is to block trackers in all windows. Keep in mind that if you choose to always block trackers, some pages might not load correctly.

Take a bite out of cookies

Cookies are sent by websites you visit. They live on your computer and monitor what you’ve been doing on a site. When an airline hikes your rates because you’ve looked at plane tickets once that day, that is the handiwork of a cookie.

In Firefox, you can block all third-party cookies or just those set by trackers. Be aware that blocking all cookies can break some sites.

Send a Do Not Track signal

If you don’t want your online behavior used for ads, you can send websites a polite “thanks but no thanks” letter by checking the Do Not Track option of Firefox. Participation is voluntary, but the websites that participate will stop tracking you immediately.

Speed up thanks to ad blockers

In some cases, an ad blocker can help your browser go faster. When an ad is loading, it can slow down a website. At the same time, it takes longer to find what you’re looking for if you’re too busy closing yet another ad.

If you want to learn more about ad blocking, there are hundreds of ad blocker extensions available for Firefox and other browsers. If want to try out the ad blockers Firefox uses, click here to download a browser that puts privacy first.

What's inside?

BlueGriffon^® has a long list of famous ancestors and proudly inherits from all of them: Netscape^®, Mozilla^® Composer and Nvu. It is powered by Gecko, the same rendering engine you can find at the heart of Firefox^®, and is filled with tons of powerful features:

BlueGriffon® is used by millions of users around the world, including Universities, Governments and even the European Parliament. It is officially recommended by the French Government as the Web Authoring Tool for the French Administration in its effort to rely on and promote Free Software (Socle Interministériel de Logiciels Libres).

FAQ

1. Can I pay in US$ or another currency than Euros ?
   

   PayPal will automatically convert our prices in Euros to a price in the currency your PayPal account is using.

2. What's SendOwl?
   

   They're our Shopping Basket processor.

   By the way, SendOwnl never sees your Credit Card information when you purchase from us. We don't see them either, of course. The payment is processed by Stripe or Paypal. We only deal with the shopping basket, through SendOwl.

3. What are the 'Taxes' I see when I order the product?
   

   It's VAT and it's only added to purchases made by european individuals and companies. That's absolutely mandatory, since we're also based in Europe. Nothing we can do about it, sorry.

   It does not apply to customers outside of the European Union.

   Since the 1st of January 2015, European VAT is based on the location of the buyer, not the seller's. That's why the VAT rate applied to our products for two customers based in two different european countries can differ. That's a EU Directive and there's nothing we can do about it. That's also why we don't show the price with VAT before you select your country of residence during checkout...

4. I purchased a license and all I got is a link to the User's Manual, a license key and a transaction ID, no software ?
   

   That's totally normal. BlueGriffon^® is a free download. Install it and enter your license information through the Preferences panel to enable the commercial features.

5. What happened to the Add-ons? What happens if I still use a version of BlueGriffon with add-ons?

   Our previous line of add-ons was discontinued and add-ons made for versions of BlueGriffon older than 2.0 will NOT work with this version 3.1... It is then HIGHLY recommended to delete your pre-2.0 profile that is in ~/Library/Application Support/BlueGriffon on OSX, AppData/Roaming/Disruptive Innovations SARL on Windows and ~/.disruptive innovations sarl on Linux) OR, even better, create another profile (see the User's Manual).

6. I lost my license key and/or transaction ID or I can't activate my license, can you help ?
   

   Yes. Please contact us by email and be ready to answer some questions before we send you back your credentials. If you could provide us with your Transaction ID, that will save some time and emails.

7. What's the difference between BlueGriffon and BlueGriffon EPUB Edition?

   The Web editor and the EPUB editor used to be two different products. We merged the two products into one starting with version 2.2.

8. How will you notify us about future versions?
   

   BlueGriffon^® makes a very simple call home when you launch it to check if a new version is available. An alert will show up if that's the case. You can tweak this behavior in the Updates section of the Preferences panel.

9. What's your Privacy Policy about that call?

   Let's state it very clearly: the only data we store about BlueGriffon^® and coming from you (besides your purchase order itself) are of two kinds:

   1. When the application activates or verifies a license, it sends us your license information and an application ID. Nothing more. We don't store these calls at all. Never.
   2. When it checks if a new version is available, it sends us the date of the request, the version of BlueGriffon you're currently using and the appID mentioned just above. We store only the date and the version number. Absolutely nothing more. We do not aggregate these data with our license database. And we do that only for global statistics.

   We do not store and will never store your IP address or even the operating system you're using, BlueGriffon does not transmit and will never transmit your identity, language, information about the documents you're creating/editing, etc..

   Be sure we care as much about privacy as you do.

10. Who are you ?
