Here is another list I've made to use on both "block content" in Opera and ADBlock Plus in Firefox. I tried to avoid too short rules and it is based on the sites I visit so, since the list isn't "generic" as the previous one, it is possible you can still see advertisement on some of your sites. Please tell me and I will add those to the list. Or of course you can do it yourself, the only problem is some times that needs to inspect the page code.
urlfilter-081008.zip
Instructions:
- Opera, you put the urlfilter.ini file in your Opera profile directory. Since it can be different depending on your Windows version, it is up to you to find the directory.
- Firefox, you open the urlfilter.ini file with notepad, select all the rules and paste in ADBlock Plus.

In case you wonder why I made the list instead of using some of the other lists you can find on the Web, that is because those lists are much bigger and bloated than what I actually need for my own personal use. On a side note, ADBlock Plus is more sophisticated than block content in Opera so there is ONE rule I could not use on both because it uses "conditions" in Firefox and the list also misses the CSS blocking that ADBlock Plus handles in the same list via the companion extension Element Hiding Helper. Not a big deal then. CSS hiding was only for some layers opened by inline JS that are not common is "serious" sites.
-----------------------------
Il file che potete scaricare dal link soprastante contiene una lista per bloccare i banner e i diversi tipi di pubblicità prima che vengano scaricati insieme alle pagine dei siti che visitate. Questa lista è stata fatta per essere usata sia con la funzione "block content" di Opera che con ADBlock Plus di Firefox. Rispetto alle liste precedenti contiene delle regole meno "generiche" quindi è possibile che vediate ancora qualche pubblicità nei vostri siti. In questo caso per favore comunicatemelo che le aggiungerò alla lista.

Istruzioni:
- Opera, copiate il file urlfilter.ini dentro la directory del vostro profilo di Opera. Siccome la pozione di questa directory cambia a seconda della versione di Windows, sta a voi trovarla.
- Firefox, aprite il file urlfilter.ini con notepad, copiate tutte le regole e incollatele dentro ADBlock Plus.

The good news:
It seems the Hitlinks stats now work correctly. I can log in and edit my account.

The rambling of the day:
I am not in a good mood lately so I am not posting much. I would like to propose these questions:

1. What are the topics you search more on search engines?
2. What are the more common keys you use for these searches?
3. What are you more interested in while browsing the Web?

Now the reason behind this. A guy I know is working on some sort of "blog" where he has put AdSense advertisement and thanks to some SEO (Search Engine Optimization) now he gets about 300 dollars per month in revenues from people clicking on AdSense links. I have been always against this idea of filling the Web of advertisement crap, as you can see in the sticky post of this blog. In the same time I do need some money, expecially these days. My personal worry is I would like to write either a simple and silly blog about my ramblings or at least something useful and interesting. In the first case I don't feel like adding advertisement to the blog and bother people with it, in the second it would be possibile but I can't find a topic that I know well enough. Now, that guy above told me it doens't matter what you write, you simply copy things from other places on the Web, until people are directed to your pages by Google and then they are presented the AdSense links, they click and go away and you get payed. Yes, money. But It looks so depressing... Maybe it is me being wrong as usual.
