Increasing web browsing speed by banning ads

Why to block those ads?

Disgusted from the time some of those web pages take to load? There are many web pages filled with unbearable amount of ads from 10-20 different publishing programs. They not only clutter up the page, but even make the important information invisible for our eyes. Also if you use internet according to data plans from your ISP, then let me tell you, these flashy ads waste much of your data usage. It is not that all ads are useless to us, because we find many things on the net just by following the ads, also many users have no problem with a huge amount of banners, but if you want a faster browsing experience, then blocking those ads is a good technique.

How to block those ads?

It is very simple to block those unwanted ads. Just follow these steps:

1) Go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\

2) Find the HOSTS file and backup it

3) Open the HOSTS file

4) Here is a list of ad servers you can ban:

Copy the contents of this file to the end of your HOSTS file. If you want to still see Google Ads, then remove the 3 lines containing doubleclick.com, doubleclick.de and doubleclick.net , ie. do not add these 3 lines in your HOSTS file.

Thats it! Now save your HOSTS file and restart your browser and experience ad free and fast browsing!
