Recently, Neopets has put a lot of ugly ads on their site. However, there is good news... you can block the ads! We're going to show you how to block those evil ads that Neopets throws your way, so you can have an ad-free Neopets experience. Please note that this tutorial is for Mozilla Firefox.

Now, in order to block the ads on Neopets we are going to use a Firefox extension named Adblock Plus. To download the extension, go here and click the big "Add to Firefox" button. After installing the add-on, you'll have to restart your browser (it should prompt you to do so automatically).

Note: Adblock Plus uses rules known as 'filters' to decide what to block. Most of these filters are packaged into auto-updated lists called 'subscriptions' so you don't have to bother about them. After you restart Firefox, Adblock Plus will give you a selection of default filter lists to choose from. You can either ignore this or pick any subscription that tickles your fancy.

Back already eh? So you should have Firefox open with Adblock Plus installed now. We are going to get Adblock Plus to use subscriptions that will block the ads on Neopets (and just about anywhere else). When you click the links below, you should see a dialog like this:

Just click okay on the dialog, and Adblock should automatically download and implement the filters.

Click here for 'EasyList', a complete filter subscription (you were probably already offered this after installing Adblock Plus)

Click here for TDN's filter list (this is supplementary, targeted at a few sneaky Neopets ads)

Now, browse Neopets.com. If you followed this tutorial correctly, all the ads on Neopets.com (and many other sites as well) should be completely banished! Enjoy your ad-free Neopets experience!
