    For IE:
    The only good addon for IE that I know of is IE7pro: http://ie7pro.com/
    Its made for IE7 but I think theres a beta version that works for IE8

    For opera:
    Download this adblock list: http://www.fanboy.co.nz/adblock/opera/urlfilter.ini
    The instructions on where to place the file are in the file

    For firefox:
    Adblock plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
    Flashblock: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433
    Noscript: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722
    WOT: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3456

    Google Chrome:
    I dont think there are any plugins for it yet.
    blah blah blah... whatever...

    Some plugins for Chrome here :

    The Noscript for Firefox will drive you nuts as you won't be able to do very much browsing , I used it for about 5 minutes .
    The Flashblock addon , same thing thought I was missing some good shit so kept disabling .



    I'm guessing you just drag the link to your Google Chrome bookmark ?


    " Disable/block Ads on webpage (Adblock for chrome)

    Adblock+ Just drag and drop this link/bookmarklet on your bookmarks bar.Ad block removes “java, flash, background music, and third-party iframes.” Thus it does a handy job of blocking the ads on a webpage. who says only firefox addon block ads ? Chrome too has a Adblock type addon now! "

    I agree peat moss.
    Using both will make you more secure but you will just end up spending a lot of time allowing most things(that you probably know nothing about)anyway so why bother.

    I will suggest Cookie Safe lite if you aren't running anything that already blocks cookies.https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...e+lite&cat=all
