How to block Flash web advertisements

This is probably the second most useful advice I can give you.

If you want to block annoying Flash ads in your web-browser, I recommend installing AdBlock Plus, a free plugin for Firefox, or the and Google Chrome (perhaps other browsers).

The Firefox plugin can be installed here. The Chrome extension can be installed here.

How it works:

1. You install the plugin/extension,
2. You subscribe to a filter list (for example, "EasyList for USA),
3. As you browse web-pages, external content that matches the filter rules aren't even downloaded!
4. Your filter list gets regularly updated as filter rules are updated.
5. You can add your own rules to block other undesired content.

I've been advertisement-free for the past two years, and it's awesome.
