Set-up and instructions
1. First off you need to install firefox, if you aren't already using firefox get it here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
2. Then you have to install the ublock origin plus, download and install it from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefo ... ck-origin/

3. Click on the ublock icon then click on the ublock title in the small window that pops up.

4. Now you're on the settings screen for ublock. Click the "my filters" tab and enter the desired tracker URL.

Importing Filter lists
1. Click on the ublock icon then click on the ublock title in the small window that pops up.
2. Now you're on the settings screen for ublock. Click the "my filters" tab and then click the "import and append" button


Text File: http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/3/8/8 ... _list2.txt
Click it and navigate to the file, in this case tracker_adblock_list2.txt. Select "Append" when you're prompted, press "apply" and the filters are ready.
You will have to check back every now and then for new filters and repeat this step.


Explanation
ublock filters out the links specified from the page. It prevents the filtered tags and URLs from loading so no information is passed to the tracker, thus the tracker is pointless and useless.

Nice, I recently collected adblock myself, along with a lot of other firefox adons, been looking for some good filters.

Oh, very interesting site. www.lifehacker.com I've found several programs that have proven extremely valuable to me through there, so any of you who like to find misc. effective programs and see interesting tips, it's a nice place to stop by for a few minutes every few weeks.
