Strengths: Initially I thought Adblock Plus was great because it did stop all ads, including banner frames.
Weaknesses: But, now the banner frames are back on Yahoo mail.
Overall Evaluation: Don't bother, it just gets your hopes up, then disappoints.

Strengths: This product removes almost all of the popup and banner ads, including flash videos, and you can adblock any image or flash video directly from the context menu of Firefox, but its myriad downloadable filters relieve you from the work of having to do that much at all.
Weaknesses: None that I have noticed.
Overall Evaluation: This is an amazing product, and your Firefox browsing will be much more enjoyable with it.

Strengths: Adblock Plus removes ALL of the jumping, popping, exploding, jittering (get the idea) ads from your screen. This allows you to keep reading or viewing without all those pesky annoyances sapping your concentration.
Weaknesses: I find no weaknesses only freedom from distraction.
Overall Evaluation: I've been using Adblock Plus for nearly 2 years now. Now days its a shock to me if I use Firefox on another PC without Adblock Plus. I'm able to see what I've been missing! What a shock! Get this add-on and relax with your PC. You'll love it!
