So I really like IE9 but need something to block the ads, what are you all using? I always used ABP for firefox.

Also, TWW needs to get on the IE9 bandwagon and get me some jumplists

I don't block ads, but I think this is what you're looking for: http://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/#easyprivacytpl

Or: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Browser/TrackingProtectionLists/

Just install the Abine list and the first Privacy Choice list from that Microsoft site, if you get anything from there...
Next, get EasyList from here: http://dayngo.com/static/filter.html
Then get Fanboy's Adult addon (EasyList explicitly does not block adult ads, because they're more complicated to deal with) here: https://secure.fanboy.co.nz/ie.html
Finally, get the Malware-related ones and (just for the lulz) the Rickroll Blacklist, from the bottom of here: http://jansal.net/TPL.shtml

Someone had posted this a while back i think: http://simple-adblock.com/

never tried it but its a little more adblock-like (even uses the adblock filter list)

IE9 is a piece of shit.

IE9 is the best browser.

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

browser hierarchy is:
Whatever version of IE is installed on ur comp
chrome
opera


safari






firefox.

^IE9 is still the worst, but it's much better than IE8, which was much better than IE7, which was much better than IE6, which was much better than IE5.5, and before that the versions were merely "better" than the previous ones.

I'm the one who posted it; it actually has fewer features than the IE9 Tracking Protection List functionality, the maker decided to charge for it, and it had some notable false positives because of its buggy handling of Adblock Plus filter syntax.
If you can find an installer for Simple Adblock 0.8.7, go ahead and knock yourself out; I recommend taking this list and pasting it into "easylist_personal.txt" in the directory where Simple Adblock stores its local settings, because the hard-coded EasyList specifically avoids blocking adult ads: https://secure.fanboy.co.nz/fanboy-adult.txt

i liked FF4 better, but center button scrolling stopped working with the update and i can't find a solution that has worked yet so i went with ie9. i really like pinning sites and jumplists.

^Yea, I'm usually a big Firefox fan, but the whole center button not scrolling properly anymore is fucking inexcusable.

I have started using Chrome 10 now too.
