    For those of you who are not premium, and still love playing neopets, but hate those space hording advertisements. If you don't already, I recommend you use Mozilla Firefox and get the AddOn [AdBlock], also for those of you who are interested in faster refresh loads and such, download the AddOn [Fasterfox] You can find both of these on Mozilla Official website :D Cheers B)

    It's not really a guide.

    And good tip, though I prefer no adblocking. Sometimes it'll block things that aren't ads. I use ZoneAlarm.

    AdBlocking helps me legit restock, cause I usually maximize my window to fit the pet picture and haggle screen, and with both the Top Bar and Bottom bar its hard enough to fit it all in, yet along with those Horrid ads on the top and the bottom flashing. So by blocking you get both a faster page load, and you get to fit the stuff without having to scroll down to click the pet pictures ;D

    I just started using this today. I don't mind the bottom ads so much, it's just that damn space at the top that gets to me.

    I think this was Son of Chilly's tactic, (if it wasn't then someone else can take the credit) but if you want to legit restock, then you use adblock to block the pictures of the things that aren't profitable. That way only the pictures of the items you want appear. I thought that was pretty smart

    With adblock. Once you have it, just right click the image you want to block and then click block. As simple as that.

    They give you the option for IE or Firefox and teach you how to get rid of those ads. I like it because I don't have to do so much scrolling, the ads take up a lot of room, and make my interweb freak out.

    Its great not only for neopets(for rs as in above) but for general surfing. Im actually quite pissed about random ads and pop-ups. Its annoying.

    One thing I noticed though when you do this is the entire My Account section/quicklinks are not visible anymore.

    Unless it's just me and I'm doing something wrong.
