Add an Ad Blocking string

Modify or remove an Ad Blocking string

Use text strings to identify ads to block or permit
For example, if you add the string uninvitedads.com to
the (Defaults) block list, you block everything in the
uninvitedads.com domain. If you are more specific and
add the string nifty_images/image7.gif to the site-
specific block list maintained for www.uninvitedads.com,
you block only that particular image.
You can add strings to the Ad Blocking list for all sites or
for individual sites.
