Firefox ABP Failures
Recently, it seems a lot of places, including FT, have installed random IP address generators for their ads, basically watering down Ad-Block Plus dramatically.
Any suggestions for better ad-block protection on Firefox? I'm on 2.0.0.14 right now.

Nothing beats it. The latest version even skips video ad's on most sites (like CNN).

I recommend editing your HOSTS file with one on the site below. This method requires no additional software but addresses the problem right at the source. I do not see a single ad on any site. This also applies to any browser.

Or for more info.
Scroll down to where it says "Other uses for the hosts file"

I use ABP with a subscription to EasyList (USA) filters and have been perfectly happy with it.
