Solve : Does Opera have their own version of Adblock or WOT (Web Of Trust)??

Answer»

Firefox's new update has the plugin crashing all the time. I just installed Opera, so I need these type of Ad-ons. Thanks. I am not FAMILIAR with the Firefox comparison feature (even though i do use both firefox and opera). However Opera does have a user control ability on cookies which will go a long way to your control of external invasions of your computer. (not of the viral/spyware kind).You can even incorporate the ability on a case by case basis as to whether you want to PERMIT a site to generate a COOKIE. Generally speaking i am in favour of cookies but i do like the ability to chose whether to permit or not.The parameters of choice are quite broad from all-to none with choices in between.truenorthHave you updated your Firefox addons ? ? it asks automatically in the update process...

I have both addons you mentioned...updated FFox 2 days ago and have had no issues with either...What version of Firefox do you have? The latest version, 3.6.4, has a separate program called plugin-container which is designed to prevent problems like that.
I've got Firefox and Ad block and have had no problems. My security program has something similar to WOT, so I don't have that.Quote from: rthompson80819 on June 29, 2010, 12:02:59 AM

Where is this "separate program called plugin-container"?

curious though, it seems to be running at 100% CPU usage (25% of my four CPUs- the 25% is entirely from the plugin container program)...

the previous version of FF didn't do that.

The latest version of Firefox At the moment is now 3.6.6.I'd like to know as well...I have version 3.6.6 installed. No problem here as far as CPU usage goes.

yes, after I posted, I closed some of my many tabs. It was definitely flash or something that was consuming CPU, since it's down to 0 again.Quote from: patio on June 28, 2010, 04:35:57 PM

I disabled a few addons, so now it's working fine. When I log off, I get this error:

plugin-container.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. Do you know what that's about?if you're still interested in Opera browser, try one of these adblock type programs:

Firefox plugin container I think was the new FF thing they built into latest version as a plugin sandbox to prevent FAILING plugins from taking entire browser down with it so you lose your tabs and all.Thanks for your reply. I posted this subject because Firefox was crashing frequently after it's update. Firefox is working better since I disabled some of my add ons. Once in a while I get a plugin crash. I like Firefox because of Download Helper. Opera has a similar extension, but it's not as good as the Firefox add on. Do you know which browser is the fastest out of them all? Thanks.Quote from: bravofan71 on July 14, 2010, 05:30:30 AM

Lynx.@bravofan1,

maybe you want to create a new firefox profile and reinstall your addons and see if it would help.
