Browser Integration
Almost all modern web browsers block unsolicited pop-up ads by default. Opera, Konqueror, Maxthon 2, and Internet Explorer 8 also include content filtering, which prevents external files such as images or JavaScript files from loading. Content filtering can be added to Mozilla Firefox and related browsers with Adblock Plus, and a number of sources provide regularly updated filter lists. For Internet Explorer there are several add-ons available like Simple Adblock, and Quero that also allows users to temporarily unblock blocked content. A rudimentary content blocking feature is integrated in Opera and does not require an add-on. For Google Chrome, which has had extensions available since v2.0, the AdSweep and FlashBlock extensions are available, as well as AdBlock Plus and AdBlockforChrome. Another method for filtering advertisements uses CSS rules to hide specific HTML and XHTML elements.

Famous quotes containing the word integration:
“The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes.... It seems to have favored the exploitation of human beings rather than their enlightenment.”
—Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)
