Bluehell Firewall, lightweight Ad-Blocker addon for Mozilla Firefox.


Bluehell Firewall is a lightweight ad-blocker add-on developed by Diego Casorran for Mozilla Firefox. This the same developer who created an add-on to prevent facebook phishing on Firefox. This add-on weighs only 30 Kilo Bytes which makes it non compromising with browser performance but comes with price. Lightweight means no configurable settings. So, you can't depend on this add-on for complete elimination of annoying ads, particularly those non Google ads and private ad pop-ups.

So, Bluehell Firewall an alternative to Adblock Plus? My answer, definitely not.

Mozilla are without doubt doing the most innovative stuff on
the web these days, in large part driven by Doug Belshaw's web literacy
crusade. Great and important work!
