My Reviews
Adblock Edge
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
That there are pro- and op-ponents of default ad whitelists, and pro- and op-ponents of default ad complete blacklists is only natural. With Adblock Plus and Adblock Edge both camps have a choice (till June 2015 when Edge will discontinue; best safe-keep some backups of Edge). Each side can disable whitelisted or blacklisted ads, respectively. For those wanting to start with a complete blacklist and then build one's own whitelist, Adblock Edge would be the tool to start with.
The use of adblocking lists, though--like easylist, easyprivacy, fanboy's, the usual lists--basically turns Adblock Edge back into Adblock Plus but without the name. Use, though, of the Easylist NoMercy, EasyPrivacy NoMercy, or the NoMercy All In One lists will permit you to start with clean, all-inclusive blacklists from which to build your own personal whitelist quickly or gradually according to your own specific needs and wants, including aligning your own position on site-owner ads-revenue rights vs site-user interests.
All-inclusive blacklists can break some sites. You merely click to whitelist or temporarily permit Adblock Edge blocks, in that case; as with Adblock Plus when getting whitelisted ads that you don't want (you could say, when sites "break" the wrong way in the presentation of ads) you can, conversely, merely click to blacklist or temporarily block. Adblock Edge is like a knife intentionally designed to effectively cut out ads and have no deliberately dulled parts anywhere along its blade; you take that into account when you use it.
CS Lite Mod
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
When I opened up the cs-lite menu
from my statusbar icon, I accidentally
right-clicked "edit menu" (for that matter, all of
the menu items to confirm) and was immediately
hijacked to "softwareblaze.com". It's an ad page
for godaddy. Everyone-- check for yourselves!
I found "softwareblaze.com" written in the install.rdf file
in the extensions/cs-lite folder. Suspicious. I just now
uninstalled cs-lite.
