Fuck off Mozilla, we do NOT want this cesspool of added crap.

And yet if they didn't tell you about the new additions I suspect you wouldn't even have noticed. They're not obtrusive. Firefox Hello is good. Have a look at it.

Blocking ads (+ other threats addons can't) & get even more speed + reliability vs. DNS poisonings, DNS downed, DNS request logs, and DNS amplification attacks (which addons don't do) by hardcoding your favorite sites you spend most of your online time at into hosts at the top of a hosts file, resolving as fast as possible in kernelmode (not slower usermode layering over already slower usermode browsers, increasing their messagepassing overheads) since hosts are queried by the ip stack first, cached into diskcache memory, with less overheads than adblock https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... and hosts block all ads, not like adblock being paid off to not do so by default http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/... for example, by far and doing far more than adblock ever could which you seem to be running from here Barb (after you trolled apk on hosts) http://tech.slashdot.org/comme...

Old Google Image Search does not only give you back the old layout. It also gives you the old way of searching.

Basically it adds &safe=off If you are able to edit your search enigine, you could do something like:
http://images.google.co.uk/images?sout=1&tbs=isz:lt,islt:4mp,qdr:m&safe=off&q=tits
This will search 4MegaPixel images in the last month with no filtering with the search "tits". Compare that with
http://images.google.co.uk/images?sout=1&q=tits

By adding stuff to the URL you can easily define your search. Very handy if you always want to use the same filters. Will also work for the other searches. Parameters here and some extra in the discussion below it.

* 1 single file you natively already in hosts being run & used by kernelmode subsystems does more with less with something you already have natively not needing to "pile on more" needlessly!

1.) Hosts are faster than usermode slower ones in local dnscache client which breaks down on larger hosts files

2.) Same as #1 above with browser addons layering on more messagepassing overheads + memory & cpu bloat https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...

3.) Hosts omit the complexity of DNS with an easily texteditor 2 column easily understood file.

4.) Hosts overcome security issues of DNS too by avoiding it for your fav sites @ the top of hosts cached by the kernelmode diskcaching subsystem into RAM! Folks hit finite #'s of sites, & this works for that, up to 2-3 million indexed remote SLOWER dns queries returning (minus security risks in DNS hosts overcome).

5.) Hosts lighten DNS server request loads too complimenting DNS again (multiple bonuses)).

APK

P.S.=> You failed man - bigtime! How so? Ok, in general summary:

1.) You overlooked hosts being cached by the local kernelmode diskcache

3.) Same as #2 above on DNS: Same on DNS usage too (adding on more parts that in DNS' case has massive SECURITY ISSUES in redirect poisonings, amplification attacks, & adding on more parts for higher power bills + more RAM & CPU cycles + other forms of I/O consumption, needlessly vs. hosts - a SINGLE native part you already have vs. layering on "more" for NO good reasons)... apk

See subject: What starts first - the IP stack + diskcache (kernelmode) or browsers (usermode slower & messagepassing overheads bound + inefficient as hell, ala AdBlock -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... crippled by default (since it was bought out/'souled-out' to advertisers to do so, deceiving users since MOST WON'T CHANGE THAT DEFAULT & advertisers know it, & NOT DOING ITS JOB FULLY).

As to the rest of TenebrousEdge's "so-called 'points'"? I dusted them, point by point...disprove them (good luck - you'll need it... more like a miracle)... heck - he overlooked diskcaching of hosts into MEMORY for Pete's sake (his biggest fail).

Lastly, per my subject-line:

You better look at the resolver order in windows in the registry (which you can raise hosts to 1st easily as I do)... no matter what though, hosts are in operation since the IP stack hosts is part of operate before browser addons ever do (& before browsers they put more inefficient messagepassing + memory & cpu bloat onto).

Adding on MORE (addons) to do LESS (addons) != efficiency. Hosts do more, with less (from a single native part you already have).

APK

P.S.=> Answer = hosts start up first, since the kernelmode subsystems driving them do... no questions asked! ABOVE ALL ELSE, you can't show addons doing more with less, vs. hosts -> http://it.slashdot.org/comment... you have FAILED...

A FREE hosts program adds speed, security, & reliability, doing more, more efficiently vs. addons + fixes DNS' redirect security issues:

APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ 32/64-bit:

http://start64.com/index.php?o...

A.) Hosts do more than:

1.) AdBlock ("souled-out" 2 Google/Crippled by default http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/... )
2.) Ghostery (Advertiser owned) - "Fox guards henhouse" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...
3.) Request Policy -> http://yro.slashdot.org/commen...

B.) Hosts add reliability vs. downed/redirected dns (& overcome site redirects e.g. /. beta).

C.) Hosts secure vs. malicious domains too -> http://tech.slashdot.org/comme... w/ less "moving parts" complexity

D.) Hosts files yield more:

1.) Speed (adblock & hardcodes fav sites - faster than remote dns)
2.) Security (vs. malicious domains serving malcontent + block spam/phish & trackers)
3.) Reliability (vs. downed or Kaminsky redirect vulnerable dns, 99% = unpatched vs. it & worst @ isp level + weak vs DGA, & Fastflux + dynDNS botnets)
4.) Anonymity (vs. dns request logs + dnsbl's).

---

* Hosts do more w/ less (1 file) @ faster levels (ring 0) vs redundant inefficient addons (slowing slower ring 3 browsers) via filtering 4 the IP stack (coded in C, loads w/ os, & 1st net resolver queried w\ 45++ yrs.of optimization).
* Addons = more complex + slow browsers in messagepassing (use a few concurrently & see) & are nullified by native browser methods - It's how Clarityray's destroying Adblock.
* Addons slowup slower usermode browsers layering on more - & bloat RAM consumption + excessive cpu use too (4++gb extra in FireFox https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...)

See subject: You *need* it vs.things hosts can do that adblock can't http://slashdot.org/comments.p... & you've YET to prove it wrong in its points showing hosts add more speed, security, reliability & more!

* Especially vs. "Almost ALL Ads Blocked" (crippled by default & sold out to advertisers http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/... AND inefficient as hell (4++gb RAM & 100% CPU consumed) https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... )

APK

P.S.=> When you ac trolls have to resort to your illogical & off topic bs as you've done? I've clearly won!

... apk

See subject: AdBlock can't do a fraction of what hosts can http://slashdot.org/comments.p... for more speed, security, reliability, & even anonymity online!

AdBlock also HORRIBLY INEFFICIENT too (doing less, lol, YET USING MORE, 4++GB of RAM more/100% CPU https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... )

Worse still, "AlmostALLAdsBlocked" DOESN'T EVEN DO ADBLOCKING RIGHT BY DEFAULT, since it's paid off by advertisers to be crippled http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/...

* To each his own...

APK

P.S.=> The only "granular" thing I see here is the amount of ads that'll be slipping thru adblock's INTENTIONALLY CRIPPLED "defense" like sand thru a sieve (along with TONS of RAM & CPU too, lol, see links above) into your system, stealing your bandwidth + allowing you to be infected possibly by maliciously coded ads etc. - et al (sophisticatedly, lol)... apk

See subject above & this analysis https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... : Hosts files by comparison, don't & do FAR more (15x more in fact), & with less resource consumption by FAR -> http://developers.slashdot.org...

APK

P.S.=> If ads wouldn't have begun infecting us since 2004 like mad ontop of stealing bandwidth I paid out for monthly, then, they wouldn't be in such trouble financially & I WOULDN'T HAVE PUT MY APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ 32/64-bit out http://start64.com/index.php?o... & yes - I "held off" releasing it in fact, had it ready in late 2003 but out of respect for webmasters, I held off until mid 2012 but the ads infecting us made me release it more than anything (the advertisers & webmasters' negligence is @ fault there, no questions asked)... apk

W. Palant wrote me by email 1st saying "hosts are a shitty solution" to which I replied:

"Show us adblock can do more for added speed, security, reliability, & anonymity than hosts can, + that adblock does it more efficiently than hosts"

Which on my latter 'point-in-challenge' on efficiency AdBlock's proven by research to be MASSIVELY inefficient -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... & adblock does FAR less than hosts (especially crippled by default).

I sent Wladimir Palant that challenge in response to his statement from 2 different email addresses I use!

Result = Still no answer from him in regard to my challenge put to him to this very day MONTHS later - that tell you anything? It did me!

He knows his addon is less efficient & features laden by FAR vs. hosts - Wladimir Palant RAN like a scared rabbit!

ClarityRay's also DESTROYING AdBlock - via native browser methods to DUMP what addons you use (it can't DO THAT to hosts files).

I only tell it how it is on hosts' superiority vs. AdBlock - Funny part is, Wladimir Palant running does too!

Especially considering "Almost ALL Ads Blocked" has 'souled-out' -> Google And Others Reportedly Pay Adblock Plus To Show You Ads Anyway: http://news.slashdot.org/comme...

APK

P.S.=> Bottom-Line: Hosts = a superior solution that also fixes DNS redirect security issues (vs. browser addons & their inefficiencies + messagepassing overheads as well as myriad lack of abilities hosts have from 1 file that's part of the IP stack itself - faster, more efficient, & less redundant as well, since TCP/IP has 45++ yrs. of refinement & optimization in it, & runs in a higher CPU serviced ring of privelege & operations in kernelmode vs. slower usermode layering over browsers slowing them more, & hosts = 1st resolver queried by the OS itself also)... apk

Can adblock do 15 things hosts files can for more speed, security, reliability, & more:

1.) Secure you vs. known malicious sites/servers (beyond malicious adbanners - see 2 thru 6 below next)
2.) Secure you vs. downed DNS servers aiding reliability
3.) Secure you vs. DNS redirect poisoned dns servers
4.) Protect you vs. fastflux using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
5.) Protect you vs. dynamic dns using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
6.) Protect you vs. domain generation algorithm using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
7.) Speed you up for websurfing not only by adblocking but also hardcoding favorite sites
8.) Get you past a dnsbl you may not agree with
9.) Keep you off dns request logs
10.) Do all of those things and block ads (better than adblock) more efficiently in cpu cycles and memory usage
11.) Work on ANY webbound application (think stand-alone email programs, for example).
12.) Give you direct, easily notepad/texteditor controlled data for all of the above
13.) Block out trackers
14.) Block spam mails sources
15.) Block phishing mails sources

"?"

* Simple YES or NO answers will do for repliers to this - that's all.

APK

P.S.=> The ANSWER ="NO" to each enumerated item above as far as "Almost ALL Ads Blocked" (crippled by default & 'souled-out' defeating it's very base purpose) is concerned -> http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/...

So, *IF* you feel like doing things LESS efficiently as well -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... ontop of doing less than hosts do (by far) with more complexity + from a slower mode of operations (usermode with more messagepassing overheads vs. hosts in kernelmode, also starting up w/ the IP stack itself, before REDUNDANT inefficient addons even BEGIN to operate, & as the 1st resolver queried by the OS as well)?

That's illogical: I can lead a horse to water, but I can't make them drink!

See subject & YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THEM (you said it yourself).

AdBlock can't do as much as hosts can, period http://yro.slashdot.org/commen... or you would've proved my 15++ points in favor of hosts over adblock WRONG by now (& you can't obviously).

In fact, I've PROVEN (with YOUR HELP no less) that Hosts also do MORE with less (far less than 100% CPU use flooring & 4++ gb of RAM used like "almostALLAdsBlocked" -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... ) & hosts aren't SOLD-OUT TO NOT DO THEIR JOB RIGHT (like Adblock) -> http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/...

* Unemployable? Chump, I've done things the fool likes of you will *NEVER* manage in this field, so keep working (it's "noble work" you're doing, wageslave: Making others rich while you make peanuts & work 60++ hrs. a week for them to do so, selling your life away, lol!)

APK

P.S.=> My money works for ME, making me more money (I haven't HAD to be anyone's wageslave for years now) - I've run my OWN business , successfully, for nearly a decade now (unlike a wageslave like you, lol)... apk

Compared to hosts in a 15++:1 ratio favoring hosts here http://yro.slashdot.org/commen... - all you have to do is show adblock doing more for added speed, security, reliability, & even anonymity to an extent - that's all: FUNNY YOU CAN'T MANAGE THAT, ever... lol!

Vs. IP based threats/trackers, I use (again) what I already have natively, in firewall rules-> http://yro.slashdot.org/commen...

IP based threats are far less used, but vs. them firewalls which you already have, do work!

(Still, hosts take over MOST of it since host-domain names are more used by "bad guys", & hosts work vs. "fastflux" &/or dynamic dns using botnets, which blow by firewalls by changing IP addresses on host-domain names - hence WHY hosts are even more valuable than firewalls).

I use what I ALREADY NATIVELY HAVBE vs. stupidly "adding on more" that's inefficient as hell, ala adblock eating 100% CPU & 4++gb of RAM -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... & crippled by default, sold out to NOT DO ITS JOB-> http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/...

* I have put up, you haven't (you still can't prove almostalladsblocked does more than hosts and with less).

APK

P.S.=> Fact: hosts do more with less, no questions asked, & you're inability to prove me wrong here http://yro.slashdot.org/commen... proves that easily... apk

You have failed (hosts whitelist easily - don't add blocking entries) http://slashdot.org/comments.p... & I work for myself & have been for years, doing well - my money works for ME, not the other way around, lol, like a STOOGE like you apparently (lol, it's "noble work" you're doing - making others rich & making yourself peanuts) & I have shown I can produce good wares - you can't & haven't too, "oddly" (not, you're a no skill troll in computing).

Hosts are, by far & away, the SUPERIOR SOLUTION for added speed, security, & reliability online (+ more) vs. adblock - as I don't see you proving my points wrong from that 1st link above, now do I? Nope... score 15 (hosts/myself), 0 (you the ac troll/adblock).

APK

P.S.=> You fail, badly (& you know it): AdBlock can't do a *FRACTION* of what hosts can for more speed, security, reliability, & more - AND - hosts are FAR MORE EFFICIENT -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... on RAM + CPU usage (yet hosts do FAR MORE too, lol), & hosts aren't "sold out" to advertisers to NOT do their job: AdBlock *IS* sold out thus, & crippled by default -> http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/... - explain that? You can't, you FAIL, & THAT, is truly, that... apk

From hosts being superior to "AlmostALLAdsBlocked"-> http://slashdot.org/comments.p... by far (hugely inefficient, redundant, inferior, & crippled by default, SOLD OUT to NOT DO ITS JOB, which is far less in abilities than hosts are, no less)..

APK

P.S.=> An inferior, redundant, & inefficient "so-called 'solution'" in "AlmostALLAdsBlocked", fails vs. hosts - badly

(AdBlock's crippled by default & SOLD OUT TO NOT DO ITS JOB right-> http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/...

AND

AdBlock does FAR less than hosts (by far, 15++x less in fact) & yet also totally massively inefficiently in CPU use (chewing up 100% of it flooring it) & RAM use (4++gb? LMAO!)-> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth...)

That's ALL not helping you @ ALL, lol... you lose/fail... apk

LIE #1: Wladimir Palant says: "Adblock Plus installation requires administrative privilege" FROM https://adblockplus.org/develo...

LIE #2: Hosts can whitelist easily by NOT adding blocking entries for any particular site/server/host-domain-subdomain

AND

YOU *STILL* (lol) can't prove my points wrong in favor of hosts over adblock, so see subject-line above & this -> http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/...

You fail, badly: As badly as "AlmostALLAdsBlocked", selling out to NOT TO ITS JOB, CRIPPLED BY DEFAULT & being inefficient as hell!

APK

P.S.=> Get back to us when you can show us adblock does more than hosts (not 15++x less) & for less resources consumed in CPU (flooring it as adblock does) & RAM (4++gb @ a time, what a JOKE adblock is -> https://blog.mozilla.org/nneth... )... apk
