I'm having a fight with ads, popups and tracking cookies. But i'm having some issues.
Software used:
- Chromium 18.0.1025.168
Extensions used:
- Adblock Plus (Beta)1.2
- AdBlock+ Element Hiding Helper1.1.9.18
- Better Pop Up Blocker2.1.6
- Ghostery3.0.0
With this configuration, i'm always getting this error:
Warning:
This extension failed to modify a network request because the modification conflicted with another extension.
I know if i disable "better popup", this goes away. It's perfectly normal, due to those extensions trying to block the same things. Problem is, i can't live without all of them! Can anyone advise me about some good configuration?
- Can't live without adblock plus, because i hate ads.
- Betterpopup blocker is essential too (believe me, chrome doesn't block a lot of popups, and i have a website or 2 that can proove that.)
- And ghostery is a must... i can't bare the idea of being tracked all the time by some companies.
So i'm kinda lost here! everything is needed, but they conflict with each other. i mean, it has to exist a perfect combination out there, i know i'm not the only one hating the privacy issues nowadays! really thankful for any tips guys
