Internet is a vast place for people like us who like to surf from one site to another. Social networking sites are just one more place to surf. These sites such as Orkut, MySpace, Hi5 or FaceBook have penetrated so deep into our lives that the moment we start surfing, we logon to these sites first.
Orkut is one of social networking sites owned by Google. Though it's only popular in Brazil and India, but for some reason, Alexa says Orkut is the 9th most visited site in Ireland.
One thing which I have been annoyed of lately is the Google Ads shown by Google in the community homepage as this one.
But applying my hack you can free yourself from these ads
Hack
First and foremost requirement of this hack is that you should be using Mozilla Firefox. This Open Source piece of software is best software I've ever came across.
Fire your Firefox and proceed to this addon link -> AdBlock Plus . According to their developers
"Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that often take longer to download than everything else on the page? Install Adblock Plus now and get rid of them."
Click "Add to Firefox" and install the addon for your browser. Next step is restart your browser. Now everyone must be thinking how this can be called a hack when it comes to just installing a simple addon. Wait!!!
Whenever you want to block an ad, just right click it and click "AdBlock Image". But clicking all the ads inside Orkut is an impossible task because for that you have to search each and every community. But ever noticed that what is common with all these ads, their command format is
http://www.orkut.co.in/AdsIframe.aspx?x
This page is responsible for generating the Adsense code and placement of ads on pages.
Follow the next step and block all the Google ads. Right click any Google ads and click "Adblock Image". A box will popup and just enter "http://www.orkut.co.in/AdsIframe.aspx"
Bingo !!! You will blocked that ADS Page
